Drug Recognition Expert

State DRE programs sit at the center of impaired driving enforcement and traffic safety. Yet many still rely on paper forms, spreadsheets, or locally built tools which make it difficult to maintain consistent data, track officer certifications, and report accurately to NHTSA.

The REJIS Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) System was created to address these challenges and modernize the way states manage DRE evaluations and program performance.

Built on NHTSA Standards, Delivered Electronically
The system originates from the same manual reporting structure initiated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), now transformed into a secure electronic application. This ensures that the data elements and workflows align with national expectations, while giving states the efficiency and reliability of a centralized system.

From the officer in the field to the state coordinator preparing a year-end summary, the DRE System supports the full lifecycle of an evaluation.
