The goal of the DITEP Course is to enable the secondary educational professional to recognize the signs and symptoms of drug and/or alcohol impairment, in order to:
- Prevent an impaired student from driving away from campus and/or
- Serve as a treatment intervention tool to reduce future instances of DWI.
It is hoped this training will ultimately reduce the number of underage drug and/or alcohol related traffic fatalities. The information and procedures presented in this course are for administrative purposes only. They are designed to aid in the assessment of drug and/or alcohol impairment in students. The subject matter presented will touch upon some, but not all of, the factors a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) considers when examining a drug-impaired individual. This training is not designed as an enforcement tool and will not qualify the participant as a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE).
