Family & Parenting,Government,Health
In 2010 drugs were behind over a quarters of auto crash deaths, up about 11.5 percent from 2000 according to California drug related crash statistics kept by the Department of Motor Vehicles. These figures indicate that there is a steady incline of drug users who are getting comfortable enough to get behind the wheel and getting into auto accidents and the county has taken equally aggressive stands to take on those drivers.

Cases where the drivers were identified of drugged driving have shot up in OC. In the first nine months of 2012 there were more cases than the entirety of 2010 because Orange County Crime Lab that has uncovered news ways to detect the use of drugs on people and because there are more drug detecting experts on the field such as Cpt. Crum.

Orange County (OC) has become a pace setter and model for California to keep drugged drivers off the road. Using a combination of specialty trained police officers, prosecutors and high technology, the county cracks down on intoxicated drivers that are a threat to themselves and the public. And backed by the state with generous grants, the city has been able to keep up the fight.

Highly specialized officers like Captain George Crum can tell what drivers are meth users by observing their idiosyncrasies. Minor characteristics such as a clenched jaw may indicate that the person is on meth; if a person can count from one to thirty in about ten seconds it may indicate to the officer that the person could be on cocaine; or someone with a slow pulse may be on heroin.

According to an article on the OC Register, Crum works as a drug-recognition expert for the Fullerton police. And quietly using trained officers like Crum that work with prosecutors and high technology drug detection processes, OC has become the model in California to get drugged drivers off the road.

Leading the cause to removed drugged drivers from the road has obstacles of its own. The state’s Office of Traffic Safety has backed OC with generous grants to help combat those challenges. The latest grant issued last month of $480,000 is aimed to be used to train more police officers as drug experts, send more prosecutors into courts to battle convictions and aid the Orange County crime lab to process evidence.

Chris Cochran, a spokesman for the Office of Traffic Safety stands behind OC’s approach at handling the situation. Cochran stated that the county has been "more aggressively out front" in going after drugged-driving cases and that here is a problem and Californians are aware about it, OC however, has been "the most together on it."
