Location: UNA Office of Regional Engagement ♦ Executive Classroom (Suite 2500) ♦
Address: 541 W College Street Florence , AL 35630
Phone: (256) 765-4156
Instructor:
The Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) program was developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with the help of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) to address the gap in training between the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and the Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC/DRE) Program. This course is a twoday training program that will train law enforcement officers how 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 incidents.
Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) Training offers additional information to law enforcement officers on detecting impairment caused by more than just alcohol. Once an officer completes the training he/she will be more proficient with the 3 test battery of the SFST (HGN, WAT, OLS), as well as a broader knowledge of drug impairment indicators. Law enforcement officers will also be more familiar with the Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) program and its function.
PREREQUISITES: Students who attend this course should have completed the Basic DUI Enforcement and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) training curriculum and be able to complete a proficiency exam of the SFST and identify all validated clues on the first day of training. Students must be full-time APOST-certified law enforcement officers.

Intervening is critical for officer safety and wellness and community trust. This curriculum was developed for law enforcement officers of all ranks and experience, including basic entry-level recruits. Through facilitated discussions, group activities, and role-play exercises, the course participants will analyze what inhibits officers from intervening, recognize law enforcement-specific barriers to effective intervention, examine duty to intervene legal standards for law enforcement, and identify key benefits of an effective intervention.

This course includes both classroom and scenario based learning components. This course is funded through a cooperative partnership with the US Department of Justice – Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (DOJ-COPS).
