CA AB1814

Requires the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to establish a DUI detection and apprehension training course by July 1, 2027

Course must be at least 3 consecutive hours and cover standardized field sobriety testing, seven major drug categories, signs and symptomatology, drug physiology, drug combinations, courtroom testimony, and report writing

Peace officers at supervisor rank or below assigned primarily to traffic enforcement must complete the training within one year of assignment and every 2 years thereafter

Officers may substitute completion of CHP-certified courses (standardized field sobriety testing, drug recognition expert courses, or advanced roadside impaired driving enforcement) in lieu of the new training requirement

State reimbursement to local agencies required if the Commission on State Mandates determines the training constitutes a state-mandated cost
