Road safety. In Pennsylvania’s latest effort to bolster highway safety, three state troopers and 17 municipal police officers have completed training and are certified by the International Association of Chiefs of Police as Drug Recognition Experts, or DREs. This is the 23rd training class conducted in Pennsylvania.
“The Drug Evaluation and Classification Program is a national effort to train police officers to determine when an individual has been driving under the influence of drugs and to identify the type of drug causing the impairment,” said David Andrascik, the state program coordinator of the Pennsylvania DUI Association officials. The success of the program in Pennsylvania is a result of the strong partnerships of the Department of Transportation, Pennsylvania State Police and the Pennsylvania DUI Association.
