The Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement Branch of the Jamaica Constabulary Force has received 50 new breathalyser kits to assist in identifying breaches of the New Road Traffic Act.
The breathalyser kits were handed over on Monday by the D&G Foundation.
Dianne Ashton-Smith, Director of the D&G Foundation, said her organization is committed to promoting safe alcohol consumption, explaining that partnering with the JCF is one step in exercising its corporate social responsibility.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Gary McKenzie, commanding officer in charge of the Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement Branch, said the kits will further increase the branch's capacity to target drivers who operate vehicles while intoxicated.
The kits, valued at approximately $3.5 million, will enable easy, fast and reliable breath alcohol detection and improve the capacity of the JCF to address road safety.
The breath alcohol concentration should not exceed the legal limit of 35 micrograms per 100 millilitre of breath.
