Not all SFST seminars are equal. NCDD’s three-day SFST Seminar is led by Anthony Palacios, one of the nation’s leading Standardized Field Sobriety Testing experts. A former Georgia SFST State Coordinator, SFST/DRE Staff Instructor, and National SFST Training Curriculum Assessment Team member, Anthony has trained more than 6,000 law enforcement officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges nationwide. His extensive field experience and mastery of the NHTSA curriculum provide defense attorneys with a powerful opportunity to strengthen their understanding of SFST evidence.

Anthony is joined by NCDD Dean Bruce Edge, Utah DUI defense attorney Josh Egan, and Massachusetts DUI defense attorney Barry Bisson. Together, they deliver defense-focused training grounded in decades of DUI litigation, forensic science, trial advocacy, and impaired-driving defense, equipping attendees to analyze, challenge, and litigate SFST evidence more effectively.

With limited seating and an interactive format, this exclusive seminar offers direct access to nationally recognized leaders in SFST training and DUI defense.
