TREDS Law Enforcement Programs

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration emphasizes the importance of education for
law enforcement on the recognition and assessment of warning signs that may necessitate
driver’s license re-examination.

To address this problem, TREDS developed “Law Enforcement’s Role in Older Driver Safety”. This
course is about roadside assessment of drivers and referrals to the DMV for licensing re-
examination. It is specifically designed to help identify signs of driver disorientation that may be
present in anyone stopped for driving irregularities. It is particularly applicable to older road
users.

The program is available in two formats:

  1. 2-hour, online POST-certified training
  2. 30-minute briefing online video

This chart shows the training content included in each program.
