Course Objective
The Drug Evaluation and Classification Program has received national acclaim for its success in identifying the drug impaired driver. Officers trained as drug recognition expects (DREs) are frequently called upon to differentiate between drug influence and medical and/pr mental disorders and their training is an extremely valuable tool in combating the adverse impact of drug alcohol-impaired driving in our communities.
Course Content
The DRE school is extremely demanding. Pre-course study material will be sent to each candidate. Staying at the designated hotel is beneficial to candidates and preferred to commuting.
