NHTSA- DRE/ Drug Evaluation and Classification Training- The Drug Recognition Expert School Instructor Manual/Administrator's Guide (1999 Edition; 1564 pp)
Author: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Abstract: This Administrator's Guide provides an introduction, to and an overview of, the seven-day classroom training course on drug evaluation and classification. This course is perhaps better known as The DRE School. It is the second in a series of three stages of training that, collectively, prepare persons to serve as Drug Recognition Experts (DREs). This seven-day course is the middle phase of DRE training, but it is a very important phase. It is during this phase that the student will learn to conduct systematic and standardized examinations of persons suspected of drug impairment to determine: (1) whether the suspect actually is impaired; and if so, (2) Whether the impairment is drug- or medically-related; and if drugs, and (3) the broad category or combination of categories of drugs that is the likely cause of the observed impairment.
