Over the Counter, Under Arrest

This course will delve into over-the-counter substances or readily available to purchase “herbal supplements” that are sweeping the country and causing concern in the driving population. Officers will be introduced to ever-changing Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPSs). This course will provide knowledge to officers about impairments that satisfy the Field Sobriety Exercise requirements for arrest, but do not conform to the standard rules of impairment per statutes. Instructors will discuss impairments caused by these substances and how to go about articulating impairment caused by these substances.

NOTE: This course is primarily intended for officers that conduct DWI investigations, though may be of value for any officer that deals with drugs or impairment.
