The ultimate goal of the Drug Evaluation and Classification Program, is to 'help prevent crashes and avoid deaths and injuries by improving enforcement of drug-impaired driving violations'. The goals of the classroom training, from the viewpoint of the law enforcement agencies participating in it, are three-fold: (1) To help police officers acquire the knowledge and skills needed to distinguish individuals under the influence of alcohol only from individuals who are under the influence of other drugs, or of combinations of alcohol and other drugs, or who are suffering from an injury or illness; (2) To enable police officers to identify the broad category or categories of drugs inducing the observable signs of impairment manifested by an individual; (3) To qualify police officers to progress to Certification training.
