Because these substances are increasingly accessible and may not be detected via urine drug screenings\, we will equip health care professionals with strategies for undisclosed use among people with pain and the general public. \nPresenter Biography: \nOfficer Mike Thomas is a Senior Police Officer with the City of Spokane Police Department\, in the State of Washington.  With nearly three decades of law enforcement experience\, Officer Thomas specializes in impaired driving enforcement\, drug recognition\, and professional training for law enforcement and medical communities.

Schools and assisting with field certifications.  He has served on the Washington State D.R.E. Advisory Board since its inception and continues to act as the D.R.E. Regional Coordinator\, overseeing more than 14\,312 square miles of eastern Washington State.

He is also a Licensed Medical Phlebotomist who manages and trains the law enforcement phlebotomy program for Spokane Police Department and other surrounding agencies. Officer Thomas uses his expertise to promote prevention and awareness through advanced drug trend education he provides that fosters collaboration between law enforcement\, medical professionals\, and community partners throughout Washington State. \nLearning objectives: \n\nUnderstand current use of pain-relieving substances including kratom\, nitrous oxide\, kava and nitazines\nRecognize signs and symptoms of unreported substance use\nIdentify reliable patient education and treatment resources for people who are taking unprescribed substances\n\n  \nContinuing Education \nThe Washington State University (WSU) Elson S.
