Prosecuting the Drugged Driver

Course Information

This Course focuses on the unique challenges of prosecuting the ever growing number of drug-impaired driver cases each of us sees on a daily basis.  The Curriculum was adapted from NHTSA Courses and has been updated to reflect the issues most commonly faced in drug DUI cases here in the Commonwealth.  A hallmark of the curriculum is the cooperation between officers and prosecutors as each learns more about how the other must proceed in a case.

Scholarships

The PDAI has once again partnered with the Pennsylvania DUI association in presenting this course.  Through this partnership, the DUI Association will be offering scholarships to any interested police officer who provides a short statement describing the challenges they face with DUI-D investigations and prosecutions in their jurisdictions. Statements should be sent to Jerry Spangler by email to jspangler@pdaa.org no later than April 12, 2019.

Registration closes on April 12, 2019. The course is limited to twenty prosecutors and twenty police officers on a first-come basis. To register online submit your email address above. You can also download the brochure and mail, fax or email it to:
