Course Number: AL-249

Enforcing DUI statutes, making the legal arrest, performing the proper tests, preserving the evidence, prosecuting the case and dealing with the offender as a client are difficult enough. Doing this with an underage person complicates the process. This workshop brings the DUI and Underage Consumption statutes to a focus as discussed within the constantly evolving legal decisions and directives. Topics include testimony, reporting, evidence, burdens of proof, use of a PBT, phases of a DUI investigation and arrest, as well as a discussion of specific sections of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code. This session will take the professional from suspicion to trial, section by section of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code and Rules of Criminal Procedure, applying the legal elements of each offense to actual situations.
