Sobriety Checkpoint Training *Refresher

This course is designed to fulfill NHTSA / IACP and PennDOT requirements that officers having already attended the 8-hour Sobriety Checkpoint Training and working sobriety checkpoints receive periodic refresher training.  NHTSA / IACP and PennDOT require checkpoint refresher training every four (4) years for officers who work checkpoints.  PennDOT has an additional requirement for PTS coordinators or their designee who instruct checkpoint refreshers classes within their county or task force to attend the refresher training every four (4) years.

The course covers the legality of sobriety checkpoints, relevant case law, any applicable case law updates, operation plans, site selection criteria, briefing, individual assignments, set up, execution, tear down, debriefing and post checkpoint administrative procedures.  There is also a statutory review of Title 75 and Title 18 regarding offenses regularly encountered at checkpoints along with instruction in dealing with unusual situations such as sovereign citizens and uncooperative motorists.  Officers successfully completing the curriculum receive a certificate and are considered trained in compliance with NHTSA / IACP and PennDOT guidelines.
