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.

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.
