Training Requirements:

Every officer working OTS grant-funded shifts must be trained in the following:

Drugs That Impair Driving (DTID) was replaced by the classroom ARIDE on October 1, 2016. If an officer has taken DTID at any time in their career, the online ARIDE course is all that is required as a refresher within five years of the DTID date. Officers are not required to take a classroom ARIDE course if they have taken DTID.

All training courses are required to be refreshed within five years of their original training date and every subsequent five years after that.

If officers in your agency are unable to satisfy these training requirements, contact your DPS-OTS enforcement grant coordinator to request an exception. Potential reasons for exceptions include (but not limited to):

• Training is not available within a reasonable travel distance
• Low staffing levels
• Reduced training budget​

The Office of Traffic Safety strongly supports enhanced traffic enforcement training. Given the current challenges several law enforcement agencies are facing, we realize these training requirements may prevent some officers from working grant-funded shifts during a time that traffic enforcement is needed more than ever. Any exception to the training requirements will only be for this federal fiscal year. 

​If you have any training questions for your officers, contact: Shannon Grabow, OTS Enforcement Coordinator​

ARIDE Online - 6 POST credits

This course will instruct officers on the difference between alcohol and drug impaired drivers; how they are detected and what can be expected. Officers will learn the observable signs of seven major drug categories, medical conditions that mimic drug influence, and what they will see when they encounter drivers under the influence of specific drugs.  This course may be used as ARIDE refresher.
