Many departments are using or may be considering purchasing preliminary breath testing
equipment for alcohol road checks and preliminary breath screenings involving a number of
other law enforcement uses. While the versatility of these machines has made them ideal for
many uses, they are nevertheless regulated by Department of Public Health Rule 510.130.
This course provides a legal update and equipment familiarization for managers, traffic
specialists, and D.U.I. supervisors by identifying the latest requirements and
recommendations for their most effective use. Throughout this course, current operating
principles and appropriate applications will be discussed.
Focus will be placed upon:
- Ill. Dept. of Public Health-authorized manufacturers
- Required methods for conducting a preliminary breath test
- How P.B.T.s analyze breath alcohol content
- Types of units (pass/fail, digital pass/fail, digital)
- Using P.B.T.s for other purposes (commercial driver sanctions,
minor consumption, illegal transporation, etc.)
Those attending will gain a thorough understanding of the current legal requirements of
Chapter 11-501.5 Public Health Standards Title 77, Part 510.130 as they relate to P.B.T. use.
This course will be taught by: Sergeant Ed Kirkpatrick, Illinois Secretary of State Police.
