Lincoln University, Pa. - Thirteen officers from eight police departments gathered for three days of field sobriety testing training on the campus of Lincoln University.
“The Institute for Law Enforcement Education offers free courses for law enforcement, so this was a fantastic opportunity for our officers to gain valuable training as well as build good relationships with our surrounding departments,” said Stephen Madonna, police corporal and criminal investigator at Lincoln University.

The free course provided instructional and practical experience to sworn law enforcement officers by demonstrating techniques that can be used in the field for the detection of a person who is under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
Class participants were trained in the techniques of conducting the standardized test battery, including classroom training and practical instruction with volunteers.
Founded in 1984, the Institute for Law Enforcement Education is a recognized leader in law enforcement training, annually providing instruction to thousands of law enforcement professionals on a wide range of law enforcement subject areas.
