STANDARDIZED FIELD SOBRIETY TEST (SFST) TRAINING REQUIREMENTS: The agency certifies that all officers participating in these patrols are SFST trained and meet the following requirement: • Officer must be BAC certified and have passed the SFST refresher training within the prior three years, or • Officer must have successfully completed Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), or • Officer must be a certified Drug Recognition Expert. • For impaired driving HVE mobilizations, there is one additional requirement: Officers must have made a DUI/DWI arrest within the past twelve months. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: All officers participating in HVE patrols are required to attend mobilization briefings if conducted. Participating law enforcement officers are required to make a minimum of three self - initiated contacts per hour of enforcement. The WTSC recognizes that some contacts may result in time-consuming enforcement -related activities and that sometimes this performance goal is not possible to attain. Failure to meet the performance goal does not automatically mean reduction in reimbursement for the activity. Officers who do not meet the performance goal should document the reason, will be reviewed by the TZM and LEL. Other activities, such as collision investigations or emergency response that are not initiated through emphasis patrol contact WILL NOT be reimbursed. Only traffic safety enforcement and correlated activity is allowable for reimbursement. All personnel who work HVE patrols must submit officer Emphasis Patrol Activity Logs to the regional TZM within 48 hours of the end of all shifts worked. The regional TZM will review, approve, and submit the reimbursement to WTSC for payment. SHIFT LENGTH: The law enforcement agency involved will not schedule individual officer overtime shifts for longer than eight hours. WTSC understands there may be instances when more than eight hours are billed due to DUI processing or other reasons. RESERVE OFFICERS: The law enforcement agency involved will ensure that any reserve officer for whom reimbursement is claimed has exceeded his/her normal weekly working hours when participating in an emphasis patrol and is authorized to be paid at the amount requested. Reserve officers may only be paid at the normal hourly rate and not at the 150 percent overtime rate. DISPATCH: Page 6 of 8
