The Maine Public Safety Training Institute is at the forefront of Cannabis Impairment Detection training, leading the way in revolutionizing law enforcement's approach to combat drug-impaired driving.
As pioneers in law enforcement training, we take immense pride in introducing innovative programs that address the evolving needs of our communities. Our journey began with the establishment of Maine's Law Enforcement Phlebotomy Technician program, which became the first court-recognized and Maine Municipal Insurance approved program in the state. This groundbreaking initiative aimed to assist law enforcement in obtaining forensic evidence for impaired driver cases, ensuring a more effective and just legal process.

National Recognition and NDAA Publication
The groundbreaking nature of the "Green Lab" Cannabis Impairment Detection training program has not gone unnoticed. The National District Attorney Association (NDAA), a prestigious organization dedicated to advancing justice, has taken note of the Maine Public Safety Training Institues innovative approach and its potential to set national public safety standards.
The MPTC contracted with the Maine Public Safety Training Institutes (MPSTI) Cannabis Impairment Detection “Green Lab” Program in an effort to teach Massachusetts law enforcement officers the signs and symptoms of cannabis impairment.
The staff at MPSTI was easy to work with and handled all aspects of the green lab including insurance, location, liability waivers, cannabis and volunteers. They were very accommodating and adjusted to every request we had. The training itself was incredible. Their staff are all trained and knowledgeable and able to answer any and all questions from the attendees.
This training far surpassed all expectations. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs to learn more about the effects of cannabis on the body. This training would be applicable to school personnel, bus drivers, insurance investigators, department of motor vehicle hearing officers, defense attorneys and prosecutors.
