An exclusive program offered by Kroll
The California Narcotic Officers Association was founded over 36 years ago with
the purpose of training law enforcement officers in the field of narcotic
enforcement. Through the years, the association has grown to a membership of
over 7000 local, state, and federal law enforcement personnel, and has become
one of the largest training providers in the State of California.
Realizing the importance of public education, the association has been providing
Drug Abuse training to the community for many years, and has recently developed
this comprehensive Drug Free Workplace Training Program.
Based on the actual experience of our members, and the expertise of our Training
Staff, this training program provides the most accurate and up to date
information available. All instructors are current or retired law enforcement
officers with years of experience in the field of drug abuse and adult teaching concepts.
The On-Site Series of the Drug Free Workplace Training Program is designed to
be presented to the selected employees of an individual employer, and can be
custom tailored to the needs of the employer, with a minimum of 8 hours of
training. The client normally provides training locations, and times of
presentation can be modified to accommodate production shifts.

Program Description
|
|
Drug and alcohol abuse is a bottom-line issue for employers, and no workplace
is immune to it. Employers have a vested interest in eliminating the problem.
Recognizing the importance of protecting their bottom line against drug and
alcohol abuse, employers have begun implementing drug-and-alcohol-free
workplace programs. The impetus for these programs has grown tremendously in
the past few years. They have spread from the federal government and large
corporations to small and medium-sized business. In addition, the expansion of
private-sector programs has been driven by several mandates: Department of
Transportation and Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations for those
industries; Department of Defense regulations for their contractors; the
Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, requiring many federal grantees and
contractors to provide drug-free workplaces; and several State Workers
Compensation insurance incentives.
This program is designed to provide education regarding the Drug-Free Workplace
and to prevent substance abuse among the workforce and within the working
environment. The program is also designed to encourage those with substance
abuse problems to seek help in overcoming their problem.
The program has components for Executive Managers, First Line Managerial and
Supervisory Personnel, and educational programs for the employee. By dividing
the program into distinct Modules, companies may tailor their training based on
needs and staffing requirements.
