Over the Counter, Under Arrest
10am-1pm
Presenters: Officer Ashley Eller & Sergeant Frank Imparato
“Over the Counter, Under Arrest” educates law enforcement personnel on the risks posed by easily accessible, over-the-counter products that can be misused to cause impairment. Officers learn how common medications, inhalants, and consumer goods are used for intoxicating effects. Most of these intoxicants are legally and easily purchased online or in your community.
The training emphasizes recognition of impairment indicators on those who use these substances. Through case examples and practical identification tools, participants develop skills to better investigate these incidents with the appropriate enforcement and/or medical resolution.

Drugs that Cause Officer Safety Issues
2pm-5pm
Presenters: Kathleen Ratcliff, Executive Director, Upstream Prevention
This program focuses on how a wide range of intoxicating substances, legal, illegal, natural, or synthetic, rapidly elevate risks during law enforcement encounters. Participants explore the behavioral effects of different drug categories, including heightened aggression, unpredictable responses to pain, and non-compliance. The course emphasizes officer safety tactics, de-escalation strategies, and coordinated response options when impairment is suspected. Officers gain a deeper understanding of how substance-related impairment complicates detention, arrest, and medical intervention, ultimately improving law enforcement decision-making in dynamic environments.
