The DUID Training Program is designed specifically for Virginia prosecutors and law enforcement officers and will be held in Staunton on August 28 – 29, 2025. The program will cover a range of topics, including the drug categories, spectrum of physiological responses from the drug categories, aspects of expert testimony, blood draws, information from Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) and their role, discussions of responding to defense arguments in DUID cases, court demonstrations and more! Participants will receive the latest edition of the Virginia DUI Manual.

This training follows a team-based format, ideally requiring a team consisting of one prosecutor and one law enforcement officer from the same jurisdiction. However, individuals may still enroll if they are unable to form a team. The program is limited to 50 attendees—40 with lodging accommodations and 10 commuting attendees. Lodging and meals will be provided for participants who reside more than 25 miles from the training site, and lunch will be provided for commuting attendees. Please note that no mileage reimbursement will be offered.

Registration does not guarantee acceptance into the program.
Confirmation of selection will be sent by email by June 1, 2025.
