(KNOX) – The number of Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) in North Dakota has increased to a total of 63 officers in 23 different agencies as 4/20 approaches.
April 20, more commonly known as “420” has become synonymous with increased recreational marijuana use and with it, the potential for more impaired drivers on the road.
Drug Recognition Experts are specially trained in recognizing if a driver is under the influence of drugs, like marijuana.
A recently completed roadside drug testing pilot revealed the presence of marijuana in more than half of those suspected to be under the influence.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol says alcohol and drug-related crashes, fatalities and arrests are 100% preventable.
