Fifty new breathalyzer kits were handed over to the Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement Branch at their headquarters in Kingston by the D&G Foundation yesterday (Mon).
Making the presentation was Dianne Ashton-Smith, Director of the D&G Foundation, who stated that her organization is committed to promoting safe alcohol consumption and partnering with the JCF is one step in exercising their corporate social responsibility.
Head of the Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement Branch, Assistant Commissioner of Police Gary McKenzie, welcomed the kits, and noted that this donation will further increase the branch’s capacity to target drivers who operate vehicles while intoxicated.
The kits, valued at approximately 3.5 million JMD, will enable easy, fast and reliable breath alcohol detection and improve the capacity of the JCF to address road safety.
The breathalyzers work by a chemical reaction in the breathalyzer device and the alcohol on your breath.
