• Abstract:
  This report presents the findings of research to understand how State and local law enforcement agencies have successfully shared resources for drug recognition experts (DREs). Sharing DRE resources refers to making DREs from one agency or jurisdiction available to other nearby agencies or jurisdictions to respond to DRE callout requests. The researchers conducted a literature review and interviewed DRE coordinators from five State and three law enforcement agencies to learn more about their DRE callout programs. The report summarizes key aspects of successfully sharing DRE resources and includes examples demonstrating how agencies share DREs and respond to callouts. Agencies and jurisdictions of all sizes and geographic localities can use this report to enhance existing DRE callout programs or implement new programs that involve sharing DREs across multiple organizations.
