The IACP 2025 Impaired Driving and Traffic Safety (IDTS) Conference will be held in Chicago, Illinois, August 4-6.

Join traffic safety professionals from around the world to share knowledge about effective and proven approaches for improving road safety, the latest science on alcohol and drug impaired driving enforcement, how technology can be leveraged to make communities safer, and how agencies can use traffic safety education to engage and build trust with their communities. The IDTS Conference is the largest training conference for drug recognition experts and traffic safety professionals. Conference attendees include DREs, law enforcement officers (state police, highway patrol, county, municipal, governmental, sheriffs, and other agencies), crash investigators, supervisors/administrators, prosecutors, toxicologists, laboratory personnel, traffic safety professionals, among others.
