Description

The class provides the most up-to-date information pertaining to all the cannabis strains, the signs of impairment and field sobriety test studies. The class starts by reviewing the NJ cannabis laws and how it affects current police procedures. We then discuss the evolution of the cannabis flower and its increasing strengths, hash, hash oils, the several synthetics and various concealment paraphernalias such as vapes. I continue into the signs and symptoms of cannabis and what an officer may see on the motor vehicle stop. We talk about the 5 ng/ml concept and how it cannot be used to determine impairment. Lastly, I use recent studies to show how cannabis affects the person's ability to operate a motor vehicle safely, demonstrate how to conduct the field sobriety tests properly and what clue signs you will see with someone impaired with cannabis.

Detailed overview of cannabis and the effects of cannabis was beneficial. A lot of new information was provided that was unknown to me prior to this class. The DUI detection was also beneficial. I feel more equipped to handle cannabis related DUI in the future. Definitely recommend the class

For a one day course it is full of great information. For officers who want to be more proactive and perform field sobriety, I highly recommend. It provides officers the information to be more confident on conducting DWIs for narcotic and marijuana offenses.

The class was informative and educational. I’ve done this job for 12 years including being a DRE for almost nine and still managed to learn more about cannabis impairment. This knowledge gained here will definitely be useful in increasing my own DWI enforcement as well as those on my squad.

Good information provided, when advertising the course I’d suggest posing it for officer who are not DRE certified. Not much new information that wasn’t presented in DRE. Possibly look to bring in a live person impaired on cannabis, much like the drinkers for the SFST course.
