After the first training of the intoximeter instrument, when must a member train again?

The correct answer is that a member must train again on the intoximeter instrument every 24 months following the initial training. This requirement is in place to ensure that law enforcement personnel maintain a high level of competency and familiarity with the equipment. Regular training every two years allows officers to stay updated on any changes to operation procedures, technology improvements, and related legal standards or regulations. This timeframe balances the need for proficiency with practical training intervals, ensuring that personnel are well-prepared to collect accurate and reliable breath test data.

Other frequency options, such as 12 months or 18 months, would not provide the right balance in training requirements, likely leading to unnecessary retraining or gaps in knowledge if the intervals were shorter than necessary. Training only when required by a supervisor lacks consistency and does not ensure that all personnel are sufficiently trained over time, which can have implications for the accuracy of the instruments used in law enforcement practices.
