Join leading experts to enhance your knowledge of drug mitigation, use (legal and illegal), and its potential impact on driving. Learn about upcoming trends, challenges, and countermeasure to this ever-evolving issue. As roadway safety advocates, we welcome you to attend the summit and join us in the process of building a common knowledge foundation from which we can all proceed.
Goals:
- Educate law enforcement officers, and traffic safety community, on the current drugged driving trends, legal protocol, and roadway issues both in Minnesota and nationwide, so they have a better understanding of the problems we currently face and what could be on the horizon.
- Equip officers with knowledge so they can confidently take a case from traffic stop all the way through the court process and have it stick.
Key takeaways:
- Understand the difference between the ARIDE and DRE Programs and know where to find more information or enroll in a training
- Know when to call DRES for assistance
- Learn what drugs and trends are hot in the market right now (locally and nationally) and understand how they are affecting our communities
- Learn about prevention techniques and community organizations they can partner with
