Breath Test Operator Renewal

A Breath Test Operator permit is maintained through successful completion of continuing education.
Breath Test Operators must satisfy continuing education requirements in order to maintain valid permits; and continuing education requires successful completion of the applicable Commission-approved Renewal Course by June 30 following the fourth permit anniversary date, and during each subsequent four-year cycle. This class will utilize the Intoxilyzer 8000.

The Intoxilyer training program is designed to enhance public safety by ensuring the accuracy and scientific reliability of evidentiary breath and blood alcohol tests, facilitating enforcement of the implied consent laws under Florida State Chapter 11D-8, and promoting the qualifications and professionalism of persons responsible for breath and blood alcohol analysis within Florida.

If a breath test operator does not attend the Breath Test Operator Renewal course within their continuing education cycle, once the cycle is up, they must not administer breath tests until they attend and successfully complete a Breath Test Operator Renewal Course.
The requirements must be followed if a breath test operator does not successfully complete a renewal course: If a breath test operator fails a Breath Test Operator Renewal Course, he/she shall not perform the duties.

 

Agency approval usually required before class. Most agencies request that individual officers contact their training department prior to self-registration. *Cancellations must be received 14 calendar days before start of class to avoid charge.

 
This course has restricted access to only currently sworn and direct support staff of an agency.
