More police will be on the roads detecting impaired drivers as additional training is rolled out across the Whitsundays.
Officers from Bowen in the north to Proserpine and surrounds to the south will undergo training for roadside drug testing.
Whitsunday Senior Sergeant Nathan Blain said the training was ongoing as part of a statewide rollout after the need was identified for more upskilled officers.
“It will increase the capabilities (of officers) in the Whitsundays,” he said.
It comes as two drivers were found to be behind the wheel while under the effects of a substance.
A Cannonvale man, 46, was intercepted on Coconut Grove about 9.30pm on April 9.
