Draeger Alcotest 9510 Implementation Plan This plan is intended to identify the location of each evidential breath test instrument that will be transitioned to the new Draeger Alcotest 9510. There are currently 80 instruments owned by the WSP. Training is intended for currently certified operators holding a valid operator permit. The class will only cover the operation of the Draeger Alcotest 9510 and will not satisfy the requirements for operator refresher training. Officers will need to continue with their current cycle of operator refresher training every three years. The Draeger training class is expected to last up to two hours. Officers will be certified to operate the Draeger Alcotest 9510 after successfully completing the training. Class size will vary and may reach up to 20 participants each session. The Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors (TSRP) will provide training to prosecutors in each area prior to the deployment. Local prosecutors will be invited to also attend an operator training class in their area. Department of Licensing hearing examiners will receive training from the TSRPs and Breath Test Program prior to deployment. The impentation plan has been identified by phases to take place across the state utilizing the currently purchased instruments. Phase 1-7 cover the currently purchased instruments. Phase 8 had been done in anticipation of making additional instrument purchases. Phase 1 Whatcom County Phase 2 Skagit County Phase 3 Island County Phase 4 San Juan County Phase 5 Snohomish County Phase 6 Yakima and Kittitas counties Phase 7 Benton, Franklin, Walla Walla, Adams, Columbia, Garfield, and Asotin counties Phase 8 Spokane, Ferry, Lincoln, Pend Orielle, Stevens, and Whitman counties A similar schedule would be followed to implement the remaining areas of the state. The current plan is to complete deployment in the following order: District 2, 1, 5, 6, and 8. 1 606
Phase 1 Whatcom County was chosen as the lead county for implementation of the Draeger Alcotest 9510 for the following reasons: 1. It is likely that a Frye hearing will occur as the result of a change in evidentiary instruments. The Toxicology Laboratory Division and the Impaired Driving Section are reasonable driving distance from Whatcom County. The TSRPs will be key players in preparing for a Frye hearing. The reasonable proximity will make their effort more productive. 2. The reasonable proximity also makes it easier for the Seattle Breath Test Technicians to assist in the initial deployment and the training of prosecutors, troopers, and allied agencies officers. There is also a technician in Marysville who will assist with the training and implementation. 3. On the initial deployment, issues may arise that need a rapid response. The Impaired Driving Section s ability to rapidly respond will be enhanced by the close proximity. There are 9 evidential instruments currently in Whatcom County, and an additional 4 would be utilized for spares/trainers to support Whatcom, Skagit, Island, and San Juan counties. Draeger Phase 1 Implementation Schedule Bellingham PD will provide the use of their training room.

First full week of training will consist of three classes a day starting on a Monday and ending on Friday.
