ARIDE TRAINING ANNOUNCEMENT
June 11-12, 2020
In cooperation and coordination with the Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO) and the Ohio Small Police Department Association (OSPDA), I am pleased to announce that the Crestline Police Department will be hosting an Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) class on June 11-12, 2020.
ARIDE provides officers with general knowledge related to drug impaired driving and to promote the use of Drug Recognition Experts (DRE). Law enforcement officers will learn to observe, identify and articulate the signs of impairment related to drugs, alcohol, or a combination of both, in order to reduce the number of impaired driving crashes. The ARIDE program stresses the importance of the signs and symptoms of the seven drug categories. Officers attending this course will receive an update/refresher of Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFSTs) and must successfully pass an SFST proficiency evaluation. This training also promotes interaction with representatives from the state's prosecution community who are encouraged to attend. The instructors for this course are all Ohio DRE certified instructors.
There is no cost to attend this 2 day training, The Ohio Small Police Department Association has graciously offered to provide lunch for both days of training. Coffee, water and donuts will be available to start each training day. Class times are scheduled from 9am to 5pm each day.
Interested attendee’s are asked to fill out the attached registration form and return it no later than June 1, 2020. Should there be any questions please feel free to contact Chief Jeffrey Shook, or Sgt. Aaron Gibson at (419) 683-2222.
STAY SAFE!
