through August 31, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:

alcohol/drug related driving offenses.
BACKGROUND:
Central Medical Laboratory, Inc. (CML), has provided Office of the Sheriff with trained phlebotomists to perform
blood draws on the DUI (driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol) subjects and for officers exposed to
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The service of the phlebotomists is used, via CML dispatch, by all the police
agencies throughout the county. The blood samples are then forwarded to the Sheriff’s Forensic Services Division for
analysis. The Forensic Services Division pays CML for its work on a monthly basis and all agencies who use the
phlebotomists are subsequently billed for the services costs and processing fees.
