Police in Missouri sought community volunteers to participate in a field sobriety training program, which offered free alcohol to the public on the local sheriff's office's dime. Responses to the request for alcohol-drinking volunteers poured in quickly.
Officers are required to complete the wet lab training in order to receive their certification for Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, a widely-used screening procedure that asks drivers to perform simple motor function exercises that should reveal whether they are too intoxicated to drive. Missouri adheres to the national standard that stipulates anyone operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration over 0.08% is impaired and can be arrested and charged for driving while intoxicated.
The sheriff's office said that between nine and 12 people needed to participate in the wet lab over the course of two days — Tuesday and Thursday — and noted that someone who expresses interest in volunteering"should probably be a casual drinker" with"normal balance" and without"standing or walking limitations." Preference would be given to prospective volunteers younger than 65, the office added.
