Grand Island police receive six breath alcohol testers

The Grand Island Police Department has received six handheld alcohol breath testing units through a traffic safety grant award from the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety.
The units, worth $285 each, were provided as part of the state’s ongoing effort to prevent underage drinking and alcohol-related traffic crashes, injuries and fatalities.
The Police Department was awarded the new instruments to assist their personnel in identifying potential minors in possession, minors driving with a blood alcohol content of .02 percent, and driving under the influence violators, said Highway Safety Administrator Fred Zwonechek.
The portable units display a digital reading of the blood alcohol level from a suspect’s breath sample. “These instruments provide the latest technology in preliminary breath testing,” Zwonechek said in news release.
