Massachusetts DWI DUI OUI Field Sobriety Test Police Training Manual

Section IV provides space to record the results of all field sobriety tests that were administered, and the results of the preliminary breath test (PBT) if such a test was given.

Since this is a note taking guide and space is limited, you will have to develop your own “shorthand” system. Your notes should be as descriptive as possible and should create “mental pictures” of the facts, circumstances or events being described. You will use these notes to refresh your memory, to write the arrest report and to testify in court.

NOTE: Field Notes may be subpoenaed as evidence in court. It is important that any “shorthand” system you use be describable, usable, complete and consistent.
