Oregon State Police training materials re: drug-impaired driving

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Oregon Public Records Law, I hereby request the following documents:

All training materials for the train officers to recognize drivers under the influence of drugs, including cannabis.

According to an article published by The Marshall Project (see https://www.themarshallproject.org/2015/07/01/how-the-law-will-adapt-to-oregon-s-legalized-pot):

"“We’re in a transformative period as drug-impaired driving becomes a bigger issue,” said Sgt. Evan Sether of the Oregon State Police. He oversees a statewide program that began in 2007 to train officers to recognize drivers under the influence. Because there is no breathalyzer-like test for cannabis, officers are taught to look for visual cues (excessive sweating, bloodshot eyes) and behavioral red flags (paranoia, loss of balance) to determine if a driver is high.

“We’re just trying to ramp the program up,” Sgt. Sether said. He added, “The goal is to get all 350 state patrol officers trained in the intermediate course,” which involves 16 hours of follow-up instruction to the basic academy training all officers receive. Currently, about 100 state police officers have completed the program."

I submit this request in my capacity as a journalist. The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I would request your response within ten (10) business days.

Sincerely,

Shawn Musgrave
