The Fortville Police Department/Hancock County Sheriff’s Department is hosting an ARIDE course on March 9th and 10th from 0800-1600 located at Central Indiana Power 2243 East Main Street Greenfield, Indiana 46140. This course is designed to help officers with the detection of drivers operating while intoxicated under the influence of drugs. Joe Turner SFST/DRE State Coordinator and other DRE instructors are teaching this course. This course is free and open to the first 100 students who register for this course. Please fill out the Registration form attached and fax it to Fortville Police Department 317-485-4141 or email it to Matt Fox at . Any questions please feel free to contact Matt Fox at 317-213-7378. Register no later than Friday March 4, 2011 Below is a brief description of the course.

The SFST program trains officers to identify and assess drivers suspected of

being under the influence of alcohol while the DEC Program provides more

advanced training to evaluate suspected drug impairment. The SFST assessment is

typically employed at roadside, while an officer trained as a drug recognition

expert (DRE) through the DEC Program conducts a drug evaluation in a more

controlled environment such as a detention facility.

ARIDE is intended to bridge the gap between these two 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 its review and required student demonstration of the SFST

proficiency requirements. The ARIDE program also stresses the importance of

securing the most appropriate biological sample in order to identify substances

likely causing impairment.

Thank you,
