This is NOT A KLEC Approved class. 

This 5 day 40-hour class is a combination of two 20-hour certified KLEC courses. 

The first class is “Basic Search and Rescue” and this course is designed to provide knowledge concerning the general responsibilities, skills, abilities, and the equipment needed by persons who would be participating in a search or rescue mission. The course is based around rural and wilderness environments, but the material is recommended as a base of knowledge for all search and rescue environments.

The second class is “Search Management for Initial Response Incident Commander” and this class is designed for individuals responsible for investigating reports of lost or overdue individuals, and for initiating appropriate search responses.  It is also designed to provide a systematic and logical method whereby incident commanders and managers can make rapid decisions on tactics and the application of resources.

These two classes will be taught by Certified Kentucky Emergency Management Instructors that will tailor the week towards Law Enforcement.  KSP is a hosting agency for these courses and other agencies/departments will be in attendance.  This 40-hour class will be a combination of classroom and outside activities.

Both Classes are KLEC Approved

The Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) program was developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with input from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), Technical Advisory Panel (TAP), and the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police. ARIDE was created to address the gap in training between the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and the Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC/DRE) Program.

The SFST program trains officers to identify and assess drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol, while the DEC/DRE program provides more advanced training to evaluate suspected drug impairment. The SFST assessment is typically employed at roadside, while an officer trained as a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) through the DEC program conducts a 12-step evaluation in a more controlled environment such as a jail or a detention facility.

ARIDE is intended to bridge the gap between the SFST and DEC/DRE programs by providing officers with general knowledge related to drug impairment and by promoting the use of DREs in states that have the DEC Program. One of the more significant aspects of ARIDE is the required student demonstration of the SFST proficiency requirement. The ARIDE program stresses the importance of the signs and symptoms of the seven drug categories. This course will train law enforcement officers to observe, identify and articulate the signs of impairment related to drugs, alcohol, or a combination of both, in order to reduce the number of impaired driving incidents as well as crashes which result in serious injuries and fatalities. This course will educate other criminal justice professionals (prosecutors, toxicologists, judges, etc.) to understand the signs of impairment related to drugs, alcohol, or a combination of both, to enable them to effectively work with law enforcement in order to reduce the number of impaired driving incidents as well as crashes which result in serious injuries and fatalities.

ARIDE is a 16-hour training course and is taught by DRE instructors. The following summarizes the sessions contained in the ARIDE course:

• Introduction and Overview of Drugs and Highway Safety
• SFST Update, Review and Proficiency Examination
• Observations of Eyes and other Sobriety Tests to Detect Alcohol and Drug Impairment
• Seven Drug Categories
• Effects of Drug Combinations
• Pre- and Post-Arrest Procedures

This course is designed to build on the Standardized Field Sobriety Test practitioner course. In order for the participant to effectively utilize the information presented in this course, NHTSA has set a prerequisite of SFST proficiency. The participant will receive a short review and update. All participants are required to pass an SFST proficiency evaluation. Failure to successfully complete the SFST proficiency evaluation will result in dismissal from class.

 Prerequisites: 

Must pass an SFST Proficiency and Course Assessment on Day 1  

All participants must have had a approved NHTSA SFST course.

All participants must be SFST proficient

This course is KLEC approved for 16 hours
