This course is designed to remind those that have previously attended a face to face demonstration on the Chain of custody procedure.

Because it is a follow up test to positive results on a screening device collecting officers can go months without needing to do a chain of custody test. For that reason it is important to refresh your memory on how to take the sample and send it to the lab.

You will only be able to complete this course after completing the Approved Drug testing officer course.
