DRE

Drug Recognition Expert Program

 As a certified DRE, an officer is able to determine if a subject is impaired and unable to operate a motor vehicle in a safe manner. The DRE rules out medical reasons for impairment. Several cases have been documented where the DRE has saved the life of a subject by referring them to a medical care facility. After the 12-step evaluation, the DRE determines which category of drug(s) is influencing the subject at the time of the evaluation. The goal of the DECP is to reduce drug impaired driving crashes.
