Drugged Driving Course

The purpose of the Drugged Driving course (4 or 8 hour) is to acquaint the law enforcement officer with the information now becoming available on the recognition of individuals who may be medically impaired or under the influence of drugs other than alcohol, and to assist law enforcement in preparing to prosecute such cases. It is clear that police officers responsible for traffic law enforcement will encounter drug-impaired drivers. The best available data suggest that tens of millions of Americans routinely use drugs other than alcohol and many drive while they are under the influence of those drugs. Some drug-impaired drivers look and act very much like alcohol-impaired drivers. Others look and act very differently. All of them are dangerous, to themselves and to everyone else on the road.
