California Police Chief- Fall 2013 CPCA_2017_Spring Magazine.v3 | Page 27

this year’s Legislative Day included
a collaboration between Cal Chiefs,
CHP and Assemblymember Tom
Lackey. Together, we hosted a DUID
enforcement demonstration to show
legislators and their staff how traffic
stops work and how officers can detect
the presence of drugs in an impaired
driver.
“Today was a great opportunity
to show Legislators, their staff and
the media how law enforcement
handles traffic stops with suspected
drug-impaired drivers. There are a
lot of misconceptions about the steps
and procedures that officers take
to ensure they do not falsely arrest
people who are not impaired and
today was a great way to correct those
misconceptions. We were also able
to show how new technology can be
used to give officers an objective way
to detect recent drug use and improve
enforcement efforts. I want to extend
a big thanks for the California Police
Chiefs Association and the Sacramento
Police Department for making
this demonstration happen” said
Assemblymember Tom Lackey.
As Cal Chiefs continues to expand
its advocacy program, we hope to see
you at our next Legislative Day in
Sacramento May 16, 2018!  ■
