You would only have to certify those that might actually need it - and remember that Corrections messed it up. We waste a lot of time and money requiring two people on every DUI case.

Yes -- and they do a lot more tasks with fewer weeks of training.

DUI enforcement is a beat officer function and beat officers should have all the training they need to do their jobs. BA certification is a 40-hour class. You take a 4 hour online in-service class to re-certify. There's no reason they couldn't add this to the academy or make it a mandatory in-service for officers regularly handling DUI cases.
