According to the DRE (Drug Recognition Expert) website http://www.decp.org/ "IACP is the "credentialing" body and does not certify DREs. The "certification" is done by the respective State Coordinator who signs off on the DRE candidate. The candidate’s paperwork is forwarded to IACP who assigns the DRE a number, enters the DRE into the IACP database and issues the DRE a certification card... The academic training is conducted utilizing creative, participant-centered teaching techniques."
