It depends on the state. We would assume that they would use an immunoassay for screening, followed up with spectography if needed. EtG is considered by most experts to be too sensitive for compliance screening, especially with individuals who are exposed to ETOH in the course of their work day.
My bet is they're testing for ethyl glucoronide, not specifically alcohol. A test for alcohol only finds alcohol in your system, which means you almost have to catch the parolee with a glass in his hand. EtG will catch you three to five days after you drank.
For Virgina ASAP probation monitering meetings they just give you a breathalizer.
I'm trying to figure out the same thing?? ]
does rockland county probation use urine etg tests
Yes, the alcohol will certainly be cleared from your system well before Thursday if you stop drinking on Monday. There are some highly advanced UA tests that can detect alcohol biomarkers a few days after use, but such tests are expensive and not likely employed by probation. Probation departments rely mainly on alco-sensors (breathalyzers) to enforce alcohol-related conditions and UA to enforce drug-related conditions.
The condition of probation refers to the terms and requirements that an individual must adhere to while on probation. These conditions can vary but typically include reporting to a probation officer, abstaining from drug and alcohol use, not committing any further offenses, and completing any required counseling or treatment programs. Failure to comply with these conditions can result in probation violation and potential consequences.
Drug users commonly use synthetic urine to pass drug tests required by employers and probation officers. Synthetic urine is made of sodium chloride of barium nitrate (depending on blood type) and red food dye.

Police officers use breath analyzers to test drivers for the presence of alcohol or other substances. They can tell if a driver is over the legal alcohol limit and therefore a danger to other drivers.
The police use a breathalyser kit.
It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to use tobacco products, so the answer is YES!
Ethyl gluconoride is a metabolite of ethanol. It stays in your body for several days after you last drank, so people like probation officers enjoy this test--if you were at a race on Sunday afternoon and you saw one of your clients drinking beers, you can pull him in on Tuesday, test him for EtG and throw him in jail for violating his probation. At least that's the theory. The problem with this test is it triggers on soap--if you wash your hands in a soap containing SD Alcohol 40, you will p*ss hot on the EtG test. I think EtG is a test that will eventually be removed from our battery of usable tests; it's so sensitive it's impossible to use it for what it's there for.
Yes- and illegal use of suboxone has a side effect of getting you put in jail.
Absolutely. One of the conditions of Probation is to not use drugs or alcohol, and another is to not get new charges. If you get a DUI, it means the law is saying you are under the influence of drugs/alcohol and its also a new - and pretty serious - charge.
