Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training will be held July 9-10 at the North Vernon Public Library and Aug. 27-28 at the South Bend Police Department. The 16-hour ARIDE course bridges the gap between the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) training. The ARIDE requires proficiency in and may be used as an update for SFST training. Additional DRE School, SFST refresher and SFST instructor courses will be scheduled in the future.
