The increased use of technology has also
proven effective.The Breath Alcohol Testing (BAT) Mobile has led to
faster processing times for suspected drunk and impaired drivers,leaving more officers on our roadways during peak hours.
The B.A.T Mobile is a modified command post equipped with breath and
blood testing equipment, video recording devices,computer workstations,and a secure space to hold arrestees during processing.The onsite
vehicle enables officers to reduce travel time transporting suspects to
obtain blood tests and analyze breath,and improves the testing results
of D.W.I.suspects since blood alcohol content can diminish with time.The unit was purchased with an Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grant, and from asset forfeiture funds seized during drug arrests.It
makes frequent patrols along Suffolk’s Long Island Expressway and
Sunrise Highway.The Sheriffs have also performed aerial patrols to combat aggressive
driving,
