Training Officers to Spot Drunk Drivers
Description
Lubbock PD keeps cops razor-sharp on drunk driving detection with a 20-year-old three-day training program. Volunteers over 21—screened and safely transported—get precisely dosed with alcohol to simulate real-world BAC levels of .12 to .14. Recruits practice field sobriety tests, then compare their calls to actual BAC results, turning real-time feedback into critical skill mastery. Spread by word of mouth and held twice yearly, this hands-on, high-stakes training ensures every officer is ready to spot impaired drivers before they hit the road.
