THEY CAN SPOT AND TEST YOU IF YOU’RE DRIVING DRUNK … BUT DETERMINING IS A DRIVER IS HIGH ON DRUGS IS ANOTHER THING. LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM ACROSS NEW MEXICO GETS TRAINED TODAY IN HOW TO RECOGNIZE IF A DRIVER IS HIGH ON A MEDICINE OR STREET DRUG. AND CHARLIE FILES WITH THE DRUG RECOGNITION EXPERT TRAINING PROGRAM SAYS THEY’LL INCLUDE OPIOID IN THE MIX.
THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN IN NEW MEXICO SINCE THE 1990S. TODAY’S (MON) TRAINING WILL INCLUDE CLASSROOM AND FIELD CERTIFICATION.
