An approach for the judicial system to reduce the influence of drug and alcohol abuse on crime

 A court ordered alcohol and drug testing management tool designed to deal with problem drinkers/drug users.  The goal of the program is to enhance behavior modification of the participant, reduce jail costs, reduce DUI recidivism, and increase public safety within your community;  Requires those arrested for or convicted of a second or subsequent violation of RCW /504 (DUI) to abstain from alcohol and drugs, take twice-a- day on-site breath tests, use a remote electronic alcohol monitoring device, or submit to urinalysis testing.  All testing fees are paid by the participant and the majority of the funds collected are retained by the local jurisdiction.  Serves as an alternative to incarceration or in addition to other court ordered activities, is cost effective, allows participants to work and remain in the community, drive if eligible, care for their families and stay out of the criminal justice system by changing their behaviors;  Violation of program rules leads to predetermined, swift and certain sanctions.

 Means a 24 hour, 7 day a week testing program in which a participant submits to testing of their blood, breath, urine, or other bodily substance in order to determine the presence of alcohol, marijuana, or any controlled substance in their body.  Alcohol testing by on-site PBT, remote breath or transdermal device.  Drug testing by on-site urinalysis or drug patch.

The Alco-Sensor FST  Certified in WA  Offers rapid and accurate testing.  Extremely durable instrument.  Designed to do 150 tests per hour.

SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring (CAM). SCRAM CAM, worn 24/7, automatically samples a client’s perspiration, every 30 minutes, to measure for alcohol consumption. SCRAM – CONTINUOUS ALCOHOL MONITORING

SOBERLINK SL2 is a rugged, one-piece, mobile alcohol monitoring device that measures Breath Alcohol Content (BrAC) by collecting deep lung breath samples. The SL2 incorporates Adaptive Facial Recognition, evidentiary-grade fuel cell technology and multiple acquisition technologies to ensure the client is accurately identified and tested. Results of each test are promptly reported to the central monitoring computer system via a cellular connection. Each test report includes a high resolution client photo, BrAC reading, GPS location and time and date stamp to ensure accuracy.

 Codified in RCW 36.28A in 2013  Legislative statute enhancements in 2014 and pending for 2015  WASPC has three Inter-Agency Agreements for 24/7 sobriety sites  Centralia PD started testing in March 2014  Thurston County SO began testing in June 2014  Clallam County SO started testing in Sept. 2014

 Washington’s Program is based on the original 24/7 Sobriety Program from South Dakota. SD’s program started in 2005 and now has 61/66, (92.5%) of their counties participating  RAND Corporation study in the American Journal of Public Health reported that South Dakota saw a  12% reduction in recidivism for DUI offenses and a  9% reduction in recidivism for domestic violence offenses following adoption of their 24/7 Sobriety Program

 Montana began statewide testing in 2012 and has 24/56 (43%) of their counties participating in 24/7 Sobriety testing.  Montana reported a 30% decrease in alcohol-related motor vehicle fatalities in 2013, at the same time as overall highway fatalities increased by approximately 10%.  RAND Corporation study on “The Effect of Montana’s 24/7 Sobriety Program On DUI Re-Arrest”. They concluded that 24/7 sobriety program participation reduced the probability of DUI re-arrest in Montana 45% to 70%  2015 to date, alcohol related fatalities are down 57% from 2012.

 All you have to do is visit a test site, and it is readily apparent why the 24/7 Sobriety Program works.  A participant is required to show up at a test site twice a day, approximately 12 hours apart, and submit to a breath alcohol test.

 The simplicity of the program, coupled with swift and certain consequences for non- compliant events, drives better behavior and outcomes.  Washington’s 24/7 Sobriety Program data is limited at this point but there is no reason to believe that it will reflect differently from other states who have had the program much longer.
