The Reno Municipal Court has launched a new state-of-the-art smartphone breathalyzer system to detect alcohol-use by offenders who are under court supervision. With this new technology, the court can perform random sobriety checks. It is less expensive than other electronic monitoring systems, and less intrusive than an ankle bracelet. The new technology uses a smartphone, an app and Bluetooth technology to check a person’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) using a pocket-size breathalyzer. The proprietary technology was created by Outreach Smartphone Monitoring, and it uses the offender’s unique biometric information to prevent fraud.
