How do I request information from the Breath Alcohol Section?

For authenticated records, requests must be submitted in writing, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).  Further guidance on written FOIA requests can be found here.

A searchable database for electronic records is also available; however, the Department cannot authenticate electronic records, once printed, as being unaltered, complete, and/or accurate.  Click here to access the Breath Alcohol Online Instrument Records page.
