April 2005) Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - County -wide General Project Information Project Title: DRUG COURT PROGRAM -URINALYSIS LAB ENHANCEMENT Subgrant Recipient: Monroe County Board of Commissioners Implementing Agency: Monroe County Board of Commissioners Project Start Date: 10/1/2010 End Date: 9/30/2011 Problem Identification 1. Problem Identification: The 16th Judicial Circuit Drug Court Laboratory Program is a comprehensive urinalysis facility providing drug -testing services to hundreds of adults, youth and families throughout Monroe County. Over the past four years, demand for the high -quality urinalysis/drug testing services of the Drug Court Program Laboratory has risen considerably. Originally designed to serve the Monroe County Drug Courts, the Drug Court Lab's certified drug -testing service is now called upon by many other law enforcement agencies throughout the County. In an effort to promote public safety, the Drug Court Lab struggles to meet this increased demand and maximize its tremendous resources, at the same time it has experienced reduced funding. This grant will continue to enhance the capacity of the Drug Court Laboratory, by allowing us to continue a new position, a Laboratory Manager. With the addition of this key staffperson, the Lab is and will continue to be able to respond to the increased demand for urinalysis/drug testing services from law enforcement entities throughout the Florida Keys. (The Lab Manager position will be an employee of Monroe County and will work 100% on this project.) a. Problem Description: The demand for drug testing for substance abusing offenders in Monroe County far exceeds the present Drug Court Laboratory's present capacity. In 1990 the urinalysis component began under the Pretrial Services Program for criminal defendant's arrested for substance related charges, released to the community, pending disposition of their cases. The need for urinalysis services multiplied with the insurgence of Adult Diversion Drug Court in 1993, Juvenile Drug Court in 1996, and Family Treatment Dependency Drug Court in 2000. The 2008 Lab numbers have significantly increased. For the current fiscal year, we have added three new testing contracts. Additionally, we have installed a new analyzer, the "Olympus 400 Delivery System". This state- of-the-art machine allows the lab to double its capacity and maintain a cost that is significantly below other commercial rates in and out of Monroe County. In conjunction with the analyzer installation, has and continues to negotiate additional Lab service contracts. The new machine allows us to increase our volume with subsequent cost benefits passed along to numerous agencies throughout the Keys. However, as a result of recent budget cuts, the Lab currently lacks sufficient staff resources to maximize the Lab's valuable resources. Staffing is critical in the Lab, as proper drug -testing procedures require certified staff (Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Associated Certified Professional Collections Trainers) and that staff must ensure compliance with strict chain of custody requirements, and that all testing procedures Application Ref # 2011-JAGC-1474 Contract -JAGC-MONR- - - Section #2 Page 1 of 5 Rule Reference 11 D-9.006 OCJG-005 (rev. April 2005) Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - County -wide accord with national standards for the Drug Courts, and commonly recognized guidelines such as those established by the American Probation and Parole Association, and the Department of Transportation. b. Problem Significance: Substance abuse is a significant problem in Monroe County. Data from the Monroe County Sheriffs Office indicates 6,447 substance abuse related bookings (19,631 jail days) were reported in 2007-2008. The Monroe County Detention Center reports over 80% of those arrested have substance abuse problems and high rates of recidivism. Records of HELPLINE, a 24-hour crisis intervention and referral service in Monroe County reports 2,355 substance abuse related calls last year. Other community service providers, such as our shelters and mental health providers similarly report high numbers of substance abusing clients. Drug testing promotes public safety by alerting the referral agent of drug use and increased risk of criminal activity. It also allows for immediate intervention by such agencies at the point of relapse. Abstinence from alcohol or other drug use is critical if a client is to benefit from participation in a treatment program. Testing urine for the presence of alcohol or other drugs serves to monitor and confirm client drug use or abstinence. Prompt and accurate test results promote open and honest communication among all parties. Positive test results compel clients to accept responsibility for their actions and reduce their tendency to deny their drug use. Frequent court -ordered alcohol and other drug testing is essential. An accurate, certified, testing program is the most objective and efficient way to establish a framework for accountability and to gauge each participant's progress. The Drug Court Laboratory provides this accurate, certified testing service in Monroe County for an assortment of law enforcement entities in the County including: the Courts per Judicial request, Adult Diversion Drug Court, Family Treatment Dependency Drug Court, Juvenile Drug Court, The Department of Juvenile Justice, IDDS(Intensive Delivery of Diversion Services), A Positive Step, for adjudicated delinquents, The Department of Children and Families Protective Investigations unit, Teen Court, and Pretrial Services. The Drug Court Lab requires additional resources in order to meet the growing need for drug testing services. The program must be staffed with certified, gender -specific collection observers during operational hours. However, as a result of 2008 budget cuts, the Key West part-time tech position was cut, and now other Drug Court employees, such as counselors must help with supervising the specimen submissions in Key West. The counselors are providing the necessary staffing support and spending valuable, limited time supervising urine submissions, which could otherwise be spent treating clients. The funding of the new manager position will eliminate the need for the Drug Court counselors to supervise urine drops, and allow them to properly focus their time on treating clients. C. Needs Assessment: Application Ref # 2011-JAGC-1474 Contract -JAGC-MOLAR- - - Section #2 Page 2 of 5 Rule Reference 110-9.006 OCJG-005 (rev. April 2005) Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - County -wide Numerous indicators tell us that substance abuse is significant and on the rise in Monroe County. The need for certified, accurate drug -tests has continued to increase. Each year the number of referrals to the Drug Court Lab rises significantly, as does the number of agencies and service providers requesting the Lab's services. The Lab performs upwards of 2,000 tests per month; sometimes as many as 150 per year per referral (some clients are tested as frequently as 3x per week.) The Drug Court Lab reports that they have experienced a 48% increase in the number of clients/referrals and a 62% increase in the number of tests from 2005 to 2008. This growth requires additional staff. Project Summary The Drug Court Laboratory's urinalysis drug -testing service promotes public safety by alerting the Court and other law enforcement agencies to drug use and the increased risk of associated criminal activity. It also allows for immediate intervention by Drug Court counselors at the point of relapse. With this grant, the Drug Laboratory will be able to continue a critical new staff position, Laboratory Manager. The addition of this position will enable the Lab to continue to: 1) provide additional testing services to meet the growing needs of law enforcement in Monroe County; 2) improve/expedite the processing of the increased number of testing service requests; 3) maximize its new state of the art testing equipment; 4) provide testing services at a greatly reduced cost at a time when cost factors are a grave concern for law enforcement programs and agencies throughout the County; and 5) provide thorough administration of protocols and procedures, and proper supervision, support and training of Lab technicians. The Lab Manager works at the Drug Court Laboratory located at 3139 Riviera Drive in Key West, Florida. The Manager supervises the daily operations of the Lab. He/She also supervises the operations and activities of the Drug Court Lab satellite sites located in the Middle Keys at the Marathon Court House Annex operating Mondays and Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm; and in the Upper Keys at the Plantation Key Drug Court Office in Tavernier, Florida. The Drug Court Lab Manager oversees and processes testing service requests from a wide spectrum of law enforcement entities in Monroe County including open Court, Adult Diversion Drug Court, Family Treatment Dependency Drug Court, Juvenile Drug Court, The Department of Juvenile Justice, IDDS (Intensive Delivery of Diversion Services), A Positive Step (adjudicated delinquents), The Department of Children and Families protective investigations unit, Teen Court, and Pretrial Services. The Lab Manager oversees and ensures the Drug Testing Chain of Custody Procedures which consists of the following steps: Certified Urinalysis Program Technicians provide clients with specific information relevant to the basic rules and regulations of specimen collection, handling of samples, analysis, testing and result reporting. This information is reviewed with clients to make certain they understand it. Clients are informed about how drug test results are used, who receives the test result information, and the consequences of either a positive test result or a refusal to test. The client is informed that a refusal to test may be considered a missed drop, which may be a violation of their program participation. This information will be reported to the Referral Agent. The Lab Manager ensures that drug testing is as valid and reliable a procedure as possible. Contributing to this validity and reliability are the following: Urine specimen �NNncduUn Mel fF :ZU11-JAGC-1474 Contract -JAGC-MONR- - - Section #2 Page 3 of 5 Rule Reference 11D-9.006 GCJG-005 (rev.

Clients are required to produce a sample observed by the collector. Temperature and measurement of creatine levels are verified to determine the extent of water loading. Urine analysis reports are completed and reported to the designated authority within 48 hours of testing. When a client tests positive, refuses testing, submits the sample of another person, or alters a sample, it is communicated to the Referral Agent immediately. The Laboratory Manager possesses a B.S. in Pharmacy, Biology and Chemistry and a M.A. in Counseling and is credentialed in accordance with laboratory certification mandates. He is a full- time employee of Monroe County, working 40 hours per week. The Laboratory Manager will work 100% for this program. The grant will pay for 50% of the position's salary and benefits. The balance will be paid by Monroe County Drug Court. This position represents a continuation of one net new hire.
