#2 IN THE NATION 🥈

Arizona was ranked #2 in the nation for the highest number of DRE evaluations completed in 2025, second only to California. This is a tremendous accomplishment, and all the credit goes to our DREs and DRE instructors.

Of the five DREs nationwide who conducted more than 100 evaluations in 2025, four were from Arizona—two from Mesa PD (Officer Roselli and Officer Cook) and two from Sierra Vista PD (Officer Clark and Officer Chavez).

Officer Cook and Officer Chavez also tied for the highest number of enforcement DRE evaluations completed in the nation, each conducting 110 evaluations.

Arizona continues to set the standard for excellence in the DRE program. Congratulations to these outstanding officers and to all Arizona DREs whose commitment and professionalism help keep impaired drivers off our roads and our communities safe.
