School officials often call on law enforcement officers to determine drug impairment in students. Furthermore, teachers, principals, and school staff have been known to use drugs in school during school hours. Incidents of in-class student drug overdose deaths have even occurred. Procedures for recognizing and documenting signs of drug impairment in a school environment will be the focus of this unique course. Emphasis will be placed on identifying physical symptoms displayed by persons under the influence of depressants, stimulants, narcotics, and cannabis. Legal thresholds for appropriate police actions and the utilization of a “decision matrix approach” will be examined regarding arrests, searches and seizures. A thorough review of the advantages and disadvantages of urine, oral fluids, blood and hair testing for drug use will be included. A national expert on drug/alcohol recognition and prevention will cover these topical points: - Grasping the scope of the school drug impairment problem - Hiding places for drugs and paraphernalia - Review of current case law - Model and sample school drug policies - Suspicion-based testing versus random school drug testing - Federal funding and guidelines for random student drug testing This course has been certified by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board and is not reimbursable by the ILETSB.
