Brief Overview: The Oregon Drug Evaluation and Classification Program (DECP) have received national acclaim for its success in identifying the drug impaired driver.  Advanced Roadside Impairment Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) was developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and created to address the gap between Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and the Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC) Program.  ARIDE is a 16-hour curriculum that provides officers with general knowledge related to drug impairment and promotes the use of certified Drug Recognition Experts.  Additionally, ARIDE is an intermediate level impaired driving course with an SFST proficiency examination.  The student should be fully conversant with the HGN procedural "mechanics" of HGN with the three clues of HGN and with the interpretation of those clues for assessing alcohol impairment.  A major focus is on the examination of a drug-impaired suspect's eyes and the procedures of those eye examinations derive largely from HGN procedures.  The successful completion of this course does not qualify the student as a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE).

Prerequisites:  One year of law enforcement experience.  The student registering for ARIDE should be familiar with the extent of the drug impaired driving problem and must have completed the basic Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), Drugs that Impair Driving, and a recent SFST refresher/update.
