National Standard in Cannabis Impairment

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.

With the legalization of cannabis in Maine, we recognized the urgent necessity for law enforcement officers to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to detect and address cannabis impairment. Hence, our "Green Lab" Cannabis and Alcohol Detection Training Program was born. Since its inception in 2017, our pioneering program has revolutionized the training experience for law enforcement officers, providing them with invaluable practical knowledge through the administration of Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) on cannabis-dosed volunteers.

By conducting SFST on dosed volunteers, our officers gain a comprehensive understanding of the signs, symptoms, and behaviors associated with impairment. This enables them to make informed decisions during field operations and investigations, ensuring the safety of our communities and the effectiveness of law enforcement efforts.

Our "Green Lab" Cannabis and Alcohol Detection Training Program is designed to equip law enforcement officers with the necessary expertise to detect and address cannabis impairment accurately. Through our hands-on training approach, officers develop the skills to identify impaired drivers, perform accurate sobriety tests, and effectively document their observations for legal proceedings.

At the Maine Public Safety Training Institute, we understand the importance of staying ahead of the curve in law enforcement training. That's why our "Green Lab" program is continuously updated to reflect the latest research, developments, and regulatory changes in the cannabis industry. We are dedicated to providing law enforcement officers with the most current and effective tools to combat drug-impaired driving and ensure public safety.
