Policing practices do not reflect recent decriminalization of drug possession in Mexico. We assessed knowledge of cannabis law as part of a police education program (PEP) post-drug law reform in Tijuana.
Officers took pre-/post-PEP surveys; random subsample (n = 759) received follow-up assessments. Longitudinal logistic regression (pre-, post-, 3-months post-PEP) measured knowledge of cannabis law.
PEP increased conceptual knowledge of cannabis law from baseline to post-training (AOR = 56.1, CI: 41.0-76.8) and 3 months post-PEP (AOR = 11.3, CI: 9.0-14.2).
PEPs improve police knowledge of cannabis law. Reforms should be bundled with PEPs to improve policy implementation. (Am J Addict 2018;XX:XX-XX).
警察的执法实践并未反映出墨西哥最近对毒品持有非刑罪化的做法。我们评估了大麻法知识，这是在提华纳进行毒品法改革后的警察教育方案（PEP）的一部分。
警察在 PEP 前后进行了调查；随机抽取的子样本（n=759）接受了后续评估。纵向逻辑回归（PEP 前后和 PEP 后 3 个月）衡量了大麻法知识。
PEP 使大麻法的概念知识从基线到培训后（AOR=56.1，CI：41.0-76.8）和 PEP 后 3 个月（AOR=11.3，CI：9.0-14.2）都有所提高。
PEP 提高了警察对大麻法的了解。改革应与 PEP 捆绑在一起，以改善政策的执行。（美国成瘾杂志 2018；XX：XX-XX）。
