The WTSC recognizes that most of the vehicular fatalities involving impaired include impairment by drugs. Because of this, the WTSC prefers officers who work these HVE mobilizations to be DRE or ARIDE trained. However, the minimum requirement for these HVE mobilizations are the following: Completed SFST training within the past three years Must have current BAC certification Must have made a DUI/DWI arrest within the past twelve months, unless the officer participated in DUI mentoring. An exception to this requirement can be made to the HVE Program Manager. DUI Enforcement Mentoring Statewide DUI and Flex Funding (during DUI mobilizations) can be used to support the professional growth of officers with limited exposure to impaired driving enforcement. With the approval of the region's TZM and WTSC, officers can participate in mentoring for impaired driving enforcement. Requirements for this use of funds include the following: • WTSC approval for impaired driving mentorship is done through the HVE Mobilization Plan. Approval for mentorship must be received prior to the activity date. • The training officer must be a Drug Recognition Expert trained officer. TZMs can submit a request for an officer who doesn't meet these requirements to be a mentor. This request must be detailed on the HVE Mobilization Plan. • There must be a review of the SFST procedure prior to the enforcement activity. • There is a limit of two times per year that an officer can be a mentee. • Funds permitting, mentees will participate in at least one impaired driving mobilization after completing mentoring. • Each region or county -level task force can set additional requirements for participation in this use of funding. • To be eligible for this activity, the task force must have a policy for DUI Mentoring. • Funding will pay for overtime for the mentor officer and the mentee officer. Advance Payments Prohibited: WTSC cannot pay any funds in advance to the HVE mobilization before completing the work.
