This week the Worthington Police Department hosted a Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Course. Officers from across the state attended. These officers were from the Worthington Police Department, Linton Police Department, Greene County Sheriff’s Reserves, Elletsville Police Department, Indiana State Police, Waveland Police Department, North Salem Police Department, and the Mulberry Police Department.
During this training officers were certified in the SFST test performed when investigating cases with intoxicated drivers. This class offered a rare opportunity for students to also take advantage of a Wet lab experience. This affords students the opportunity to see the effects of alcohol on an individual in volunteers who volunteer their time to consume alcohol and perform the tests as administered by the students.
This training was made possible by the cooperation and donations from the Greene County Extension Office, Walton Funeral Service, Jose’s Bar and Grille, and a special thanks to the Linton Police Department for instructing the course and organizing the Wet lab participants.
