1 Conference Agenda FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, :00 AM 5:00 PM CONFERENCE REGISTRATION 8:30 AM 4:00 PM DRE STATE COORIDINATORS MEETING (BY INVITATION ONLY) National Harbor Rooms 4 & 5 4:00 PM 5:00 PM NEW DRE STATE COORDINATORS ORIENTATION (BY INVITATION ONLY) National Harbor Rooms 4 & 5 SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, :00 AM 5:00 PM CONFERENCE REGISTRATION 7:00 AM 5:30 PM EXHIBITS OPEN 7:00 AM 8:00 AM CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST 8:00 AM 10:00 AM OPENING CEREMONY 10:00 AM 10:15 AM NETWORKING BREAK 10:15 AM 11:45 AM GENERAL ASSEMBLY THE GREAT U.S. CANNABIS EXPERIMENT: EFFECTS ON DRIVING IS THE NUMBER ONE SHORT-TERM CONSEQUENCE 11:45 AM 1:00 PM LUNCH ON OWN Dr. Marilyn Huestis, Senior Scientific Advisor, NMS Labs, Willow Grove, PA The increased use of cannabis following legalization in four states and approval of medical cannabis in 28, has important short-term and long-term consequences for the American public. The most important short-term consequence is increased motor vehicle crash injuries and deaths. Interpretation of blood cannabinoid data is complicated by chronic frequent cannabis intake. This problem affirms the important role of the DRE impairment evaluation and markers of recent cannabis intake. The results of the first study of an illicit drug in the world s most advanced driving simulator with and without alcohol, the rapidity of THC decreases in blood after intake, and the relationship between THC concentration and DRE evaluations will be presented. 1:00 PM 2:45 PM BREAKOUT SESSIONS BEST PRACTICES TO IMPROVE YOUR INVESTIGATORY TACTICS Maryland Rooms 4 6 Chuck Matson, Region II Section Chair, Keystone, SD Fasten your seatbelts for a rousing and thought-provoking journey where we ll uncover some proven best practices for developing and promoting your expert opinion. From the traffic stop to the courtroom, attendees will be exposed to additional elements and established techniques that are too often unrealized and underutilized by law enforcement officers. This session, created by a DRE for DRE s, will spotlight the use of language and art of conversation on how to improve the selling of field sobriety tests and evaluation methods to Suspects, Juries, and Judges.

2 ENHANCING YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF NOVEL SYNTHETIC OPIOIDS Joseph Jones, Crime Lab Director, Ohio State Highway Patrol Crime Laboratory, Columbus, OH This workshop will enhance current understanding of Novel Synthetic Opioids, including more than 20 novel opioids, fentanyl, and fentanyl-like analogues, and will demonstrate an analytical response for DUID and post-mortem casework. EMERGING DRUG TRENDS Keith Graves, Sergeant, Livermore Police Department, Livermore, CA Drugs are changing at an amazing pace. Heroin is being replaced by fentanyl, meth and coke are being replaced by bath salts and marijuana is being replaced by spice. But, this is just the tip of the iceberg. In this course, we will review the drugs that are hitting the market right now that are causing officers grief around the country. We will talk about the drugs themselves along with expected outcomes in a drug influence evaluation. NEW DRUG RECOGNITION EXPERT ORIENTATION 2:45 PM 3: 00 PM NETWORKING BREAK Matthew Myers, Lieutenant, Peachtree City Police Department, Peachtree City, GA Dick Studdard, DRE (Ret.), Los Angeles Police Department, Prescott, AZ Joseph Turner, DRE (Ret.), Muncie Police Department, Muncie, IN New DRE s often find themselves challenged with difficult questions about where to go next in their career as an impaired driving expert or how to respond to tough questions about the DECP. This presentation will prepare participants to defend against common challenges to the DECP, expand their role as a resource to their agency and community, and develop a clear continuing education pathway. 3:00 PM 4:45 PM BREAKOUT SESSIONS BEST PRACTICES TO IMPROVE YOUR INVESTIGATORY TACTICS Maryland Rooms 4 6 (See page 1) ENHANCING YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF NOVEL SYNTHETIC OPIOIDS (See above) EMERGING DRUG TRENDS (See above) 5:30 PM 7:30 PM WELCOME RECEPTION TREATING VICTIMS OF DUI/IMPAIRED DRIVING CRASHES AND OTHER VEHICULAR CRIMES AS CRIME VICTIMS Dan Eddy, Executive Director, National Association of Crime Victim Compensation Boards, Alexandria, VA Colleen Sheehey-Church, President, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Irving, TX John Whetsel, IACP Past President, Sheriff (Ret.), Oklahoma County Sheriff s Office, Oklahoma City, OK Timothy Woods, Director of Grants and Contracts, National Sheriffs Association, Alexandria, VA Alcohol-impaired driving crashes took the lives of 10,265 persons in 2015, accounting for 29 percent of the total vehicular crash fatalities in the United States. When factoring in all types of impaired driving and other vehicular crimes, the number of persons killed and injured is even higher. Yet too often prosecutors, victim advocates, and law enforcement continue to differentiate between vehicular crimes and other types of crime. This presentation, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice s Office for Victims of Crime aims to change any existing mind-sets that DUI/impaired driving crashes and other vehicular crimes are accidents rather than criminal acts.

3 SUNDAY, AUGUST 13, :00 AM 5:00 PM CONFERENCE REGISTRATION 7:00 AM 5:30 PM EXHIBITS OPEN 7:00 AM 8:00 AM CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST 8:00 AM 8:30 AM IACP DRE SECTION RECOGNITIONS Each year, the IACP DRE Section honors individuals that have made exemplary contributions to the Drug Evaluation and Classification Program (DECP), as well as honoring current DREs who have made valuable efforts in reducing drugged driving and supporting the DECP. During this session, the IACP DRE Section will present the DRE Ambassador, DRE Emeritus, and Karen Tarney-Bookstaff DRE-of-the-Year Awards for :30 AM 10:00 AM GENERAL ASSEMBLY EFFECTIVE COURTROOM TESTIMONY AND DWI 10:00 AM 10:15 AM NETWORKING BREAK W. Clay Abbott, Texas DWI Resource Prosecutor, Texas District and County Attorneys Association, Austin, TX Every defense lawyer who advises a client to refuse a breath test admits that officers almost never arrest someone who is not intoxicated for DWI. Yet, DWI cases are very hard to win in front of juries. One reason is that prosecutors and officers are not conveying to the jury what officers see at the scene and what they know from their training and expertise. This course is dedicated to ethically, professionally, and effectively presenting testimony in DWI cases for the DRE. Clear demonstrations and honest responses to defense tactics on cross-examination will be discussed, modeled, and practiced. 10:15 AM 12:00 PM GENERAL ASSEMBLY INHALED VS. EDIBLE CANNABIS: EFFECTS ON INTERPRETING CANNABINOID CONCENTRATIONS AND IMPAIRMENT 12:00 PM 1:15 PM LUNCH ON OWN Dr. Marilyn Huestis, Senior Scientific Advisor, NMS Labs, Willow Grove, PA Dr. Matthew Newmeyer, Assistant Toxicologist, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, State of Maryland, Baltimore, MD Cannabis is the most widely abused illicit substance worldwide. In the US, recreational cannabis is legal in 4 states and medical cannabis in 28 states; cannabis use among drivers poses a public health and safety risk due to increased associated crash risk. We conducted a research study in which cannabis was administered to frequent and occasional cannabis smokers via smoking, vaporization, and oral routes. Cannabinoid pharmacokinetics, including Δ9-tetrahydrocananbinol (THC), metabolites, and minor cannabinoids, in blood and oral fluid, performance of two on-site oral fluid screening devices, and participants subjective ratings and performance on divided attention psychophysical tasks will be described. 1:15 PM 2:45 PM BREAKOUT SESSIONS ELECTRONIC WARRANT SYSTEMS: IMPROVING DUI SYSTEM EFFICIENCY Maryland Ballroom C Diane Bull, Judge, Harris County Criminal Court at Law Number 11, Houston, TX Brett Campbell, Detective, Phoenix Police Department, Phoenix, AZ Erin Holmes, Director of Traffic Safety, Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, Arlington, VA Jason Marshall, Trooper, Utah Highway Patrol, Sandy, UT

4 The recent Supreme Court decisions in Missouri v. McNeely and Birchfield v. North Dakota revealed the need for law enforcement agencies to be able to obtain a warrant for a blood draw in a timely and efficient manner. This is especially important in cases where the driver is suspected of being under the influence of drugs as they metabolize rapidly within the body. The use of electronic warrant systems for arrest in DUI cases has been steadily growing. This session will identify the ways in which these systems have been effectively implemented and offer guidance as to how agencies can elicit judicial buy-in and overcome challenges to develop and utilize their own e-warrant systems. THE IMPACT OF CANNABIS LEGALIZATION Darrin Grondel, Director, Washington Traffic Safety Commission, Olympia, WA Chuck Hayes, Project Manager, Drug Evaluation and Classification Program, IACP, Salem, OR Steve Johnson, Deputy Chief, Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board, Olympia, WA Washington State was one of the first two states to legalized recreational marijuana in Since then, several states have followed suit. During this presentation, the speakers will discuss the legalization process, the type of products being sold and the impacts legalization has had on Washington State. The speakers will then talk about what other states that have recently legalized recreational marijuana should prepare for and the rippling effects the legalization of recreational marijuana has had across the nation. SPIT IT OUT! IMPLEMENTATION AND VALIDITY OF ROADSIDE ORAL FLUID TESTING John Flannigan, Commander, Vermont State Police, Williston, VT Erin Holmes, Director of Traffic Safety, Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, Arlington Amy Miles, Director of Forensic Toxicology, Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene, Madison, WI Christine Moore, Vice President, Immunalysis, Pomona, CA Roadside oral fluid testing is quickly becoming a reality as an added tool for law enforcement in drug impaired driving investigations. This panel will cover a recent oral fluid project and how it was implemented as well as the results and where that leads roadside oral fluid testing for the future. In addition, there will be discussion on various projects running all over the country and an examination into the legal landscape of oral fluid collection and testing today. WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO 2:45 PM 3:00 PM NETWORKING BREAK Don Egdorf, Sergeant, Houston Police Department, Houston, TX Fatal crashes involving drunk drivers are a part of the job and something seen far too often. We look at how these officers, prosecutors and advocates deal with the trauma and tragedy of these crashes and how to cope with what they have seen on a daily basis. These are the forgotten victims from every crash scene and must be addressed, especially when the victim is a child or fellow officer. I talk about how my father, a police officer, was run over by a drunk driver and how it affected my life and work, and the story of Officer Kevin Will, a co-worker that was run down by a drunk driver in a crash almost identical to my fathers.
