We're in the same boat Danny. We're all learning here. So in that vein, I will offer my two cents to the conversation.

Danny -

It will be quite difficult for them to conduct day to day operations post July without a legit way to test for recency of use. Hence I think the government would have this higher on their priority list.


I agree. The government is showing an urgency to be prepared for it's impending MJ rollout...

Preparing for marijuana legislation

Currently, the Waterloo Regional Police Service has 10 officers trained as DRE officers, with plans to train two more officers in 2018.

Although the traffic services branch report does say the addition of two officers will satisfy any increased need for capacity arising from the legalization of marijuana, it also mentions that "it is difficult to predict the optimal number of DRE officers that will be required."

The report said more DRE officers may be needed in response to the legalization of marijuana as:

- DRE officers spend an increasing amount of time in court, as they will be called to testify as expert witnesses.

- DRE officers spend more time preparing blood warrants and production orders relating to the investigation of collisions.

It costs regional police $2,500 to have an officer certified as a drug recognition evaluator, with the first half of the training taking place at the Ontario Police College and the second half taking place in Jacksonville, Florida.

Cannabix/Breathtec/University of Florida (Joint Operations - pun intended) is located in Gainesville, Florida - 75 Miles (1.5 Hrs) south of Jacksonville, Florida. However, what is located in Jacksonville, Florida is the Institute of Police Technology and Management - Administrator of Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) Program.

So I offer this to say, for all the world's man-made urgencies and emergencies, breakthrough science moves at it's own pace. Some would argue a snail's pace. However you measure time in this regard, Dr. Yost is the timekeeper. Meanwhile, the world will plod along until we give the masses what they've been yearning for.

Nice Double Down Danny! I hope to see you @ the Btec Board in the future. We're a lonely bunch over there. LOL

Just 1 opinion,
