Arnold, MO

SFST 24 hour The fundamental purpose of this training course is to foster DWI deterrence, i.e., to dissuade people from driving while impaired by increasing the odds that they will be arrested and convicted. This course is based on the assumption that a principal reason for enforcing DWI laws is to deter those who might otherwise be tempted to break the law. If potential DWI violators believe that there is a real risk of being caught, it is reasonable to believe most will refrain from driving while impaired.

This training will help officers become more skillful at detection and description, make more DWI arrests, and obtain more convictions. These actions will lead to greater DWI deterrence through less impaired driving and fewer crashes, injuries, and deaths.

This course provides the allocated C.E.H.’s under Missouri P.O.S.T. (Technical Hours: 8, Legal Hours: 3, Skill Hours: 13)
