SUMMARY:ARIDE (Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement)
DESCRIPTION:POST approved 16 hours. \nARIDE is intended to bridge the gap between the SFST and DEC/DRE programs by providing officers with general knowledge related to drug impairment and by promoting the use of DREs in states that have the DEC Program. One of the more significant aspects of ARIDE is the required student demonstration of the SFST proficiency requirement. Failure to demonstrate SFST proficiency requires the student to be removed from the course. The ARIDE program stresses the importance of the signs and symptoms of the seven drug categories. This course will train law enforcement officers to observe\, identify and articulate the signs of impairment related to drugs\, alcohol\, or a combination of both\, 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\, judges\, etc.) to understand the signs of impairment related to drugs\, alcohol\, or a combination of both\, to enable them to effectively work with law enforcement to reduce the number of impaired driving incidents as well as crashes which result in serious injuries and fatalities. \nTraining attire is uniform or business casual. \nTo register\, use the Acadis portal MLEA ACADIS \nIf you have issues registering contact Sergeant Lucas Herl at lucas.herl@mt.gov \n
