E-mail list for Drug Recognition Experts

Fellow DRE's, I would like to invite you to join DRUG-RECOGNITION-L, an e-mail list for Drug Recognition Experts. Subscription is free and will remain free thanks to: Tom Shehan, Texas DECP Coordinator and the TEEX Law Enforcement Training Division, Texas A&M University System DRE E-Mail Bulletin Board.

The list provides a discussion forum for DRE's and is a valuable resource for the DRE. It was started for DRE's. Most members are DRE's, however, there are also some toxicologists and non-DRE police officers on the list.

The list is restricted to certified DRE's, toxicologists and police officers who have an interest in drug impaired driving/drug symptomology issues. Pharmacists, prosecutors, and others who would be a good resource for the list will be considered.

If you would like to join the list, you can use the on-line registration form at: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/8862/Form.htm. This link may default to the geocities page. Delete that page and the DRE registration form will be 'under' it.

I look forward to hearing from you and adding you to the list and having you join in our discussions.

Charlie Ferry
DRE, New Castle PD, NY

If you are currently a member on the list, and wish to modify your participation in the list, you can view and access those options.
