Breath Alcohol Training for Legal Professionals  [New!]

You need to understand the science and technology behind breath alcohol testing in order to present your best possible case.

Since the 1950’s, a variety of photoelectric devices have been used to obtain blood-alcohol readings from breath samples. Although good readings can be obtained from a qualified, cautious and prudent  operator, the readings are subject to interpretation. Variables exist that offer a source of inaccuracy. Operator experience plays a vital factor in determining the suitability of breath samples. Case law has been built on the foundation if this now more than 50-year old technology.

Now, along comes infra-red breath-alcohol testing, something that many people don’t fully understand. Something you may not fully understand. Learn the questions to ask!

The Sputnik-era technology of the Breathalyzer has been replaced with something a little more modern. But, behind the science - new questions emerge:

     What do the numbers mean?

     How was the reading obtained?

     What role does the operator play?

     How accurate is the instrument?

     Can it be affected by interferents?

     What is the true meaning behind the cryptic message "Invalid Test"?

Your questions don’t need to go unanswered until court. Now you can prepare your case fully and completely.

If you don't understand the science and technology behind alcohol testing, you are limiting your abilities as a legal professional. You need to be able to understand breath alcohol testing in order to offer both a fully-considered defence, or a complete prosecution. This course is designed to give legal professionals the information disclosure doesn’t provide.
