Wk 6 Ch 8 Essay DRUGS Due March 3

^{For this week's 400+ word essay, please research what a DRE (Drug Recognition Expert) does and how it works... to assist you with this essay, I will offer the following questions:}

^{1) What is a DRE (Drug Recognition Expert?)}

^{2) Do all police departments have these "experts?"}

^{2) How does it work?}

^{3) What is the purpose?}

^{4) Is it reliable?}

^{5) How is it helpful in an investigation?}

^{Please write this essay in a way that you explain it to someone who knows nothing about this subject.}

^{I would start your research with the LAPD and their DRE's, as well as the IACP (International Association of Chiefs of Police).}

^{You must CITE your sources. No Wikipedia please! Take the time to do the research. This information is NOT in the textbook, so you may have to call around to area police departments (or anywhere in the United States for that matter) to ask. FYI: Winchester Police Department has a DRE officer.}
