(Center Township, PA) Central Valley eighth graders are going on the Gettysburg field trip on May 18 and returning after the overnight stay on May 19, 2023. Final approval was granted by the school board. It’s an annual trip for 8th graders.

In suburban Detroit, it was a lost 14-year-old looking for directions. In Kansas City, it was a 16-year-old who went to the wrong house to pick up his younger brothers. There was the 12-year-old rummaging around in a yard in small-town Alabama, the 20-year-old woman who found herself in the wrong driveway in upstate New York and the cheerleaders who got into the wrong car in Texas. All of them, and dozens more across America, were met by gunfire. In the United States, strangers are often seen as threats and fear has been politicized. And now simple acts like ringing the wrong doorbell can seem like a fateful question of trust.
Press Release Service by Newswire.com
Neuro-diagnostic company Oculogica today announced the launch of OcuPro, the fastest roadside cannabis test with immediate results, along with pilots planned with several police departments across the U.S. Officers administer the 45-second long test and receive an immediate indication of recent cannabis use and impairment. The technology is based on studies of several hundred cannabis users which are in submission for publications.
Current tests for cannabis rely on a urine, saliva or blood sample from the subject, and provide a measureof tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in cannabis. THC can remain in the body for months, long after the user is no longer impaired. OcuPro differentiates between recent use within 60-90 minutes vs. use over several hours ago. Oculogica CEO, Dr. Rosina Samadani, noted, “Cannabis presence in the body does not equal impairment. Use is not illegal in many states. Driving while impaired, however, is. OcuPro addresses a huge unmet need for a scientifically and clinically validated test for impairment due to recent cannabis use.”
The device can be used in manufacturing facilities and workplaces, but law enforcement has the most immediate need. Data from the Connecticut Transportation Safety Research Center shows a 10% increase in impaired driving crashes the year after cannabis was legalized, according to Marisa Auguste, Research Assistant with the organization. Maryland Officer Jayme Derbyshire says, “With cannabis legalization becoming more commonplace throughout the nation, it is important that communities take action to ensure that traffic safety isn’t overlooked.With the potential for more impaired drivers, law enforcement needs to continue to improve roadside testing practices and roadside technology in order to keep roadways safe and to best determine the extent of driver impairment.”
Pilot sites include police districts in Missouri. Several jurisdictions, such as Seattle, WA, are in discussion. Columbia, MO, Officer Ryan Hutton, says, “As cannabis legalization continues, the concern with driving while high continues to grow.Law enforcement officers are looking for help with detecting when consumersare impaired.Detecting these drivers are a toppriority as it will help reduce serious injuries and deaths on our roadways.”
Kansas City, MO, Sgt. Blake Brownlee, says, “In a legalized cannabis environment, we are in real need of a device that detects recent usage of cannabis, and impairment assessment would be ideal.” Oculogica’s data scientist Dr. Darryl Mayeaux says, “An assessment of impairment requires a carefully and rigorously established definition of impairment that will not inappropriately define unimpaired people as impaired.”
The OcuPro device looks like futuristic binoculars. Notably, the color is bright green, in part so the device is distinct from other equipment police officers are carrying. The device will be available beyond the pilot sites in late 2023.
Oculogica, founded by a neurosurgeon, develops and manufactures products with eye-tracking-based algorithms. OcuPro builds on technology used in Oculogica’s EyeBOX, the first FDA-cleared concussion diagnostic that does not require a pre-injury baseline.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Police say an underage employee of a Pennsylvania supermarket will be charged in connection with sewing needles found in bagged vegetables and Tastykake packages customers returned after buying. Pennsylvania State Police recommended Thursday that customers check their groceries for tampering if they bought them from a Giant supermarket in suburban Allentown between April 13 and Wednesday, when troopers were alerted. Troopers didn’t say what led them to blame an employee of the supermarket. The suspect is a minor and wasn’t named. Police also didn’t say if anyone reported being injured by one of the sewing needles.
