About this skill
This extended asset gives trainers a separate option alongside the shorter Drug indicators video. Use the additional viewing time to collect observations and questions from the group.
The linked Drug finds guide includes material on drug recognition and drug incidents. It brings together examples of observations, reporting and concerns about substances or associated items. A useful discussion separates what an officer saw from the conclusions they might draw, then identifies the information that needs to be passed on.
What to focus on
- Record the observations raised while watching the extended version.
- Compare the questions prompted by the extended and shorter videos.
- Connect those questions with the drug-awareness guidance used at your venue.
When this is useful
A longer drug-awareness discussion where a trainer can pause for questions.
