June 24, 2022 – The 24/7 sobriety program located on New York Street, provides drug and alcohol testing services twice a day to those who were sentenced for criminal offenses. Since 2005, the Sheriff’s offices across South Dakota have successfully administered more than 12 million breath tests and more than 600 thousand drug tests.
Lucas Oyler, Director of the Pennington County Sheriffs’ Office says that there are multiple ways to test for drugs and alcohol.
Oyler states “We test for alcohol, and we test for drugs. We can test for alcohol with a scram monitor, we can test for alcohol with what is called a remote breath, which does facial recognition, and it has a little bit of a GPS capability. Scram, which is the ankle monitor and remote breath, and the PBTs…that do our alcohol testing. Then for urine analysis, we do either a urine analysis or we have what is called a drug patch and they wear that for a period of up to two weeks. Usually, it is something up to 7 to 10 days and then comes in and the lab analyses it and gives us our results.”
