The Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement program was developed by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration with input from the International Association of Chiefs of Police Technical Advisory Panel and the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police. ARIDE was created to address the gap in training between Standardized Field Sobriety Testing and Drug Evaluation and Classification Programs. This course will offer additional information to law enforcement officers on detecting impairment caused by more than just alcohol. Often law enforcement officers who have not received advanced or in-service training regarding drug impairment tend to not be able to identify these characteristics and oftentimes release impaired drivers. Once an officer completes this training, he/she will be more proficient with the 3 battery of tests (HGN, WAT, OLS), and will have a broader knowledge of drug impairment indicators. Students will also become more familiar with the DRE program and its function, thus facilitating better communication and transfer of critical roadside indicators of impairment to the evaluating DRE officer for a more complete and accurate assessment of impairment. ARIDE is a 16 hour training course taught by DRE instructors or SFST instructors who are also DRE's. The training will be conducted under the control and approval of the DEC Program state coordinator. This course encompasses information and techniques for addressing the drug and alcohol impaired driving problem. Much of the classroom training will be devoted to hands-on practical exercises. The following topics will be addressed: - Update of the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Battery - How drug impaired driving affects our communities - SFST Proficiency Examination - Drugs in the human body and the impairing effects they may have - Seven categories of drugs identified by the DEC Program - Additional sobriety tests that will provide an expanded knowledge of detection to law enforcement - Enhanced prosecution of drug impaired drivers This course has been certified by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board. It is not reimbursable by the ILETSB.
