| Narrative: |
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office – Forensic Services Bureau has been awarded a competitive one-year grant of $460,480 from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to help keep our roadways safe from impaired drivers. The grant program runs through September 2026.
The Forensic Services Bureau will use the funds to purchase supplies and replace the instrumentation used for the analysis of forensic samples for alcohol content in driving under the influence (DUI) cases. Replacement instruments will allow the Sheriff’s Office to leverage advances in modern instrumentation to decrease maintenance costs and increase the specificity and throughput of testing.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
