Dec. 30: Reasonable Suspicion training for CDL (Commercial Drivers License) supervisors (with the Kansas Highway Patrol), 9 a.m. – 12 noon, at Derby USD 260, Administrative Center, 1550 E. Walnut Grove Road. Click here to register and for more information.
This training is federally mandated for all individuals who supervise individuals required to have a CDL as a condition of their employment.
Suppose your school district or school bus contractor operates a school/activity bus that requires the driver to have a CDL, and you supervise that driver. In that case, you are required by federal law to have Reasonable Suspicion training for supervisors. This class is a one-time requirement.
Any school district/contractor employee is welcome to attend, even if you are not mandated to participate in the training.
The instructor, Lt. Carson Nuss of the Kansas Highway Patrol, has 26 years of law enforcement experience, three years as a sheriff’s deputy, and the last 24 years with the Kansas Highway Patrol.

Carson is a certified instructor for SFST (standard field sobriety test), ARIDE (advanced roadside impaired driving enforcement), DRE (drug recognition expert), and evidential breath testing.
