PREREQUISITE: must have successfully completed 24 hour SFST course.  SFST Course certificate required for entry.

This is an advanced course.  Students are required to make 80% on the final exam to receive a certificate of completion.

The ARIDE course is designed primarily for law enforcement officers that meet the IACP/NHTSA National Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Standards, including a proficiency test, and who have successfully completed an IACP/NHTSA approved SFST (Basic) training course. The officer MUST be able to administer and interpret the horizontal gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test for alcohol-impaired subjects. The officer’s level of skill in the SFST’s should exceed a “good grasp of the contents “they MUST be proficient in the administration and evaluation of the battery of tests involved with the SFST and will demonstrate their knowledge through proficiency testing.  Any student deemed not proficient will not be allowed to continue the course.  Successful completion of the ARIDE course is a prerequisite for those officers interested in applying for the Drug Recognition Expert program.

Students MUST be a State Certified or Commissioned law enforcement officer in a full time paid capacity and/or prosecutors responsible for the detection, arrest, and prosecution of the DUI offender.

This course will train law enforcement officers to observe, identify and articulate the signs of impairment related to drugs, alcohol, or combination of both, in order to reduce the number of impaired driving incidents as well as crashes which result in serious injuries and fatalities.

This course will educate other criminal justice professionals (prosecutors, toxicologists and judges to understand the signs of impairment related to drugs, alcohol or a combination of both, to enable them to work with law enforcement in order to reduce the number of impaired driving incidents as well as crashes which result in serious injuries and fatalities.

The officer must be able to administer and interpret the horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN) test for alcohol-impaired suspects. The student should be fully conversant with the procedural "mechanics" of HGN with the three clues of HGN and with the interpretation of those clues for assessing alcohol impairment. A major focus of this module is on the examination of a drug impaired suspect's eyes. The procedures for those eye examinations derive largely from HGN procedures.

Students must be a P.O.S.T.  Certified and current commissioned law enforcement officer with at least one year of experience and be in a full time paid capacity and/or prosecutors responsible for the detection, arrest, and prosecution of DWI drivers. Officers and Prosecutors selected to attend this training should be aware of the hazards caused by impaired drivers, motivated to arrest and prosecute impaired drivers, and their duty assignments will enable them to spend the time required to process DWI offenders.

Students applying to or scheduled to attend should be familiar with the extent of the drug impaired driving problem, must have successfully completed the basic Standardized Field Sobriety Testing course, and attended a recent SFST Refresher or Update course.

This course was not designed to be offered in a basic academy to new police recruits. This is an intermediate level course designed to offer more than a basic understanding of the impairing effects of drugs (Illicit and Licit), alcohol, and/or the combination of both.
