ARIDE Training

Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement

With the growing trends of drug abuse and recent legal changes, law enforcement agencies are investing in progressive programs that address the need for additional training. The Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) program was developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with input from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), Technical Advisory Panel (TAP), and the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police.

ARIDE teaches officers how to 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 incidents as well as crashes which result in serious injuries and fatalities.This course is focused on the following:

• Introduction and Overview of Drugs and Highway Safety

• Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST) Update, Review and Proficiency Examination

• Observations of Eyes and other Sobriety Tests to Detect Alcohol and Drug Impairment

• Seven Drug Categories

• Effects of Drug Combinations

• Pre- and Post-Arrest Procedures

*The training will be conducted under the administration and approval of the DEC/DRE program state coordinator.*
