The Regina Police Service (RPS) has added a Mobile Testing Unit (MTU) to its capabilities – as the service works to crack down on impaired drivers.

“Now we have a unit where we can do a lot of testing right there,” Inspector Shawn Fenwick explained. “[It] should create efficiencies where we can do the investigations more thoroughly and quicker. We can do all of those tests right there in the in the mobile testing unit, rather than, bringing them downstairs to our detention area.”

The MTU contains a breathalyzer and oral fluid testing devices such as Drager and Sotoxa – which are necessary to legally confirm impairment.

Prior to the MTU’s introduction, impaired drivers would have to be transported to Regina Police Headquarters in order for officers to access these tools.

The MTU has been in service less than a week and is already showing promising results, according to Fenwick.
