Breathalyzer kiosks installed in Wisconsin and Minnesota

December 14, 2017

Precision Kiosk Technologies has begun introducing its automated breathalyzer kiosk to law enforcement agencies and correctional facilities in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Portage County Justice Programs, and the sheriffs' offices of St. Croix County and Racine County in Wisconsin, recently began using the technology to screen specific segments of their offender populations, according to a press release.

The AB Kiosk is an autonomous system designed to automate alcohol screening conducted by sheriff offices. 

The system reduces the supervisory burden and costs of court mandated alcohol screening by integrating an interactive alcohol screening kiosk and a cloud-based offender management software program.

The interactive kiosk uses biometric fingerprint authentication to verify the identity of the individual, captures still images and video as it administers each breathalyzer test, and automatically uploads the test results. The kiosk can test up to 40 individuals per hour without any direct supervision by jurisdiction staff, and its touchscreen can deliver customized questionnaires to selected individuals.

The offender management software program provides detailed real-time activity logs, simplifies new client onboarding, and enables regular and random test scheduling.
