Impairment Perspectives: Tom Page

In this episode of Impairment Perspectives, we talk with Tom Page, a pioneer in the development of the Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) program. He shares how his early work in public health and law enforcement shaped his approach to drug-impaired driving, and how the DRE program evolved from street-level observations to a nationally recognized training model.

Listeners will hear about the challenges, breakthroughs, and key players behind the program’s growth, along with advice for today’s officers navigating the complexities of impairment detection.
