AB Kiosk Delivers 99.5% Alcohol-Free Compliance in Wisconsin

Minneapolis, Minn. — (November 11, 2018) In 2018, four Wisconsin Counties used the Automated Breathalyzer Kiosk system to coordinate and conduct daily, randomized alcohol screening of offender populations. The AB Kiosks conducted these tests without any direct supervision by law enforcement or department of corrections personnel, and uploaded the results to the system’s offender management database.

The Results
Of the first 20,000 alcohol screening tests administered by the Kiosks in 2018, 99.5% were negative for the presence of alcohol.

The Immediate Benefits

• Offenders are respecting the Automated Breathalyzer System, showing up on time for their tests, and are adhering to the alcohol-free conditions of their pre-trial, probation, DUI or work-release mandates.
• Sheriff deputies and other supervisors are freed up from conducting alcohol screening using hand-held devices, and are devoting their time to higher-level law enforcement activities.
• County jails have reduced their populations of non-violent offenders.
• The State’s roads and communities are safer.
