New Breath Testing System an Alcohol Monitoring Systems Launches Handheld for Drunk Drivers

 The company known for making SCRAM®, the world's first 24/7, transdermal alcohol monitoring system for repeat drunk drivers, has announced the launch of a next-generation handheld breath test device aimed at monitoring offenders deemed lower risk by the courts.

SCRAM Remote Breath™, is a portable, handheld breath test system that includes Automated Facial Intelligence™ (AFI™), a government-grade facial recognition software that snaps an offender's picture during a test and digitally matches it to a baseline photo. Offenders sentenced to monitoring with SCRAM Remote Breath carry the handheld device and complete breath tests either on a set schedule, randomly, or on-demand as needed by the supervising agent.

According to Don White, vice president of Field Operations for Alcohol Monitoring Systems (AMS), the company spent 10 years delivering its flagship 24/7 transdermal product, the Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor®, and has monitored more than 300,000 high-risk, hardcore drunk drivers. "But we know that the judicial system needs options when it comes to monitoring alcohol-involved offenders," says White. "Courts and law enforcement need a high-intensity technology, like our transdermal system, but they also need to be able to reliably monitor a whole host of alcohol-involved offenders—such as first-time drunk drivers and minors in possession—who require supervision, but not the intensity or cost of a 24/7 transdermal technology," he says.

The AFI technology is the first of its kind in an industry of remote breath test systems that require corrections officers to manually review and attempt to match hundreds and even thousands of photos daily to determine if the right person is taking the tests. In comparison, the SCRAM AFI technology digitally maps facial structure and ultimately reduces the staff demand on staff time and resources by 90 to 95 percent.
