 Driving Under The Influence
   
 

CPT Credit: 10 Hours

Description: Covers recognizing, testing, and apprehending a DUI offender. Realistic scenarios depict each step of a DUI incident: observation, stop, interview, field sobriety tests, and arrest. An agency's policy for handling certain situations may be different from what is presented in the course. Students taking the course should be thoroughly familiar with their local policy.

The two courses, Drug Identification and the Law and Drug Influence and User Identification should be taken before this course.

Organization
Tutorial: Covers the design of the courses and how to use the navigational features.

Introduction: Provides a memo welcoming the student to River City and a short video explaining in general what the student will learn.

Lessons: Each lesson has three parts:

Overview – gives key points covered in detail in the reference manual.

Preparation – helps students determine what they already know. The results, which only the student is able to see, help the student determine which topics to emphasize while studying.

Practice - gives students the opportunity to apply what has been learned from the overview and the reference manual.

Comprehensive Practices: Video-based scenarios provide students an opportunity to apply what they've learned from the lessons.

Scoring
Final Quiz: The passing score is 80%.

Features
In order to pass the course, the student must study all the lessons and comprehensive practice and pass the final quiz, which can be taken more than once.

Reference Manual: The course has a reference manual on the CD-ROM. The manual, which is in Adobe Acrobat® format, can be accessed from anywhere in the course and can be printed.

Glossary: The glossary, which is the same for all four of the drug courses, contains relevant terms and definitions. It also can be accessed from anywhere in the course.
