Free Training Nitrous Oxide and Inhalants - January 29
January 16, 2026
San Diego is seeing an increase in Nitrous Oxide use. District Attorney Summer Stephan issued a public safety warning about a concerning rise in DUI cases involving nitrous oxide, also known as “whippets,” after an uptick in fatal crashes in San Diego County. In an 11-month span since October 2024, prosecutors filed charges in three fatal DUI cases involving the use or suspected use of the gas — a stark contrast to the previous year, which saw zero such cases, according to the DA’s office.
The training on January 29th will discuss this emerging trend.
