Drug Recognition And Identification Course

PGI has developed a Drug Recognition and Identification Course covering the ingestion, pricing, symptoms and manufacturing of commonly abused illicit, designer and prescription narcotics. The course has been designed to help Federal, State and Local LEO recognize commonly abused and recovered narcotic substances by characteristics and packaging.
This course also highlights the use of cutting agents used to expand the profits of heroin and cocaine distribution. The course also details the production, transportation and distribution of heroin from cultivation to heroin mills. Also detailed is the operation of clandestine marijuana grows and the overt indicators associated with these grows as well as the manufacturing of “Butane Honey Oil”.
The course material is presented by our SME using photographs, video, power point and the personal experiences gained from actual narcotics investigations.
Highlighted is the transnational production, transportation and sale of counterfeit pills such as Roxicodone containing fatal amounts of Fentanyl and Methamphetamine.
