For Legal/Criminal Justice

Drug and alcohol testing is a necessity for professionals involved in legal representation, investigation, law enforcement and other areas of criminal justice. 

Why?  Just take a look at the statistics:

• In 2004, 17% of state prisoners and 18% of federal inmates said they committed their current offense to obtain money for drugs.
  
  
• In a 2004 survey of inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities, 32% of state prisoners and 26% of federal prisoners said they had committed their current offense while under the influence of drugs. 
  
  
• Among state prisoners, drug offenders (44%) and property offenders (39%) reported the highest incidence of drug use at the time of offense.  Among federal prisoners, drug offenders (32%) and violent offenders (24%) were the most likely to report drug use at the time of their crimes.¹
  
  
• Over 1.46 million drivers were arrested in 2006 for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.  This is an arrest rate of 1 for every 139 licensed drivers in the United States.²
