Basseterre, St. Kitts — The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force has received a generous donation of eight professional-grade breathalyser devices from Ms. Lesleigh Joseph, the Public Relations Officer. This donation aims to enhance road safety and improve law enforcement capabilities, following her observation of a critical need for better tools to enforce the Federation’s drunk driving laws.
The donated devices are BACtrack S80 Select Series Breathalysers, designed for professional testing applications. They provide accurate, fast, and reliable estimates of blood alcohol concentration (BAC). These units utilise Xtend®️ Fuel Cell Sensor Technology, known for its precision and four-digit display accuracy, making them suitable for various climatic conditions—ideal for the Federation’s environment.
Commissioner of Police Mr. James Sutton expressed gratitude on behalf of the Police High Command, stating: “This donation represents a meaningful partnership between the community and law enforcement. The availability of these high-quality breathalysers will significantly enhance our ability to detect and deter impaired driving, thereby improving safety for all road users.”
The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force remains committed to reducing road traffic collisions, particularly those caused by alcohol impairment. With these new devices, frontline officers will be better equipped to enforce the law consistently and professionally. The Police Force encourages the public to continue supporting initiatives that strengthen public safety and promote responsible road usage.
