| About the DRE Program |
|
The Oregon Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC) Program is managed and coordinated by the Oregon State Police and has been since the inception of the program in 1995. Oregon is one of 49 states participating in the DEC Program. The DEC Program is under the national guidance and direction of the International Association of Chief’s of Police (IACP) and is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The Oregon program continues to work in partnership with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) – Transportation Safety Division, the Oregon Association Chief’s of Police (OACP), the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association (OSSA), the Oregon District Attorney’s Association (ODAA), and the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) to select, train and prepare police officers to be Drug Recognition Experts and make an impact in deterring drug-impaired driving in Oregon.

| DRE ARIDE Training |
|
Advanced Roadside Impairment Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) Training
ARIDE Training will offer additional information to law enforcement officers on detecting impairment caused by more than just alcohol. Once an officer completes the training he/she will be more proficient with the SFSTs, as well as a broader knowledge of drug impairment indicators. The law enforcement officer will also be more familiar with the DRE program and its function. This will facilitate better communication and transfer of critical roadside indicators of impairment to the evaluating DRE for a more complete and accurate assessment of the impairment.
For ARIDE classes please contact your DRE Regional/Allied Coordinator or the Oregon Drug Evaluation and Classification Program at 541-967-2114.
