Newnan officer completes impaired driving course
From STAFF REPORTSnews@newnan.com
Patrolman Scott R. Carl of the Newnan Police Department has completed an Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement course taught by the Georgia Police Academy Division of the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth.
This training program is designed to enhance law enforcement officers’ ability to recognize the role of traffic enforcement and its relationship to highway safety. Officers are trained to recognize psychophysical and clinical indicators of impairment that are consistent with a subject who is under the influence of drugs alone, or in combination with alcohol, and to take appropriate action.
