Information

Request/Subject

Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safeway FFY 2018 Portable Breath Testing (PBT) Grant Application.

Background Information

The Gila County Sheriff's Office is working with equipment that is outdated or are unable to provide each Deputy with a PBT device. In order for the Deputies to effectively do DUI (driving under the influence) enforcement, this equipment is needed. Due to the short notice to submit a grant application, the Gila County Sheriff's Office electronically submitted the FFY 2018 PBT Grant Application on March 14, 2017.

Evaluation

If a grant is awarded to the Gila County Sheriff's Office, the acquisition and use of these PBT devices will greatly enhance the ability of the Sheriff's Office Deputies in the field to effectively enforce DUI related activities in the field and during their patrol duties.

Conclusion

The Gila County Sheriff's Office is requesting assistance from the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) to purchase (10) PBT devices and (500) mouth pieces for a total amount of $2,778.98 to enhance DUI enforcement throughout Gila County.

Recommendation
