Originally developed to address the unique challenges encountered during Boating Under the Influence (BUI) investigations, the seated battery has become an invaluable assessment tool for both marine and highway law enforcement officers when environmental conditions, terrain, injury, age, weight, or mobility limitations prevent the safe administration of standing balance tests.
This course is designed for law enforcement professionals who have previously completed BUI or SFST training but have not received instruction on the Seated Battery of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests.
Through this hands-on, 8-hour course, participants will learn:
• The scientific foundation and validation of the Seated Battery of SFSTs.
• When seated SFSTs are appropriate and defensible.
• Proper administration of seated testing protocols:
• Seated Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN)
• Finger-to-Nose Test
• Palm Pat Test
• Observation and interpretation of impairment indicators
• Effective documentation and report writing
• Courtroom articulation and testimony
Who Should Attend?
• Marine patrol officers
• Highway and traffic safety officers
• Drug Recognition Experts (DREs)
• Other law enforcement officers responsible for impaired driving or boating enforcement
