County adds contracted screener to drug-and-alcohol roster to handle DUI screenings and prevention work

Cumberland County approved adding a contracted screener to its list of providers who perform PennDOT-required DUI screenings and assist prevention programming. Ryan Simon said PennDOT requires people convicted of driving under the influence to receive a screening, and the county’s Drug and Alcohol Commission contracts with screeners to perform both screening and occasional prevention support. "Whenever someone receives a DUI in the state of Pennsylvania, PennDOT requires them to receive a screening. And for Cumberland County, the Drug and Alcohol Commission, does those screenings and we contract out with individuals to help us out with that. So we'd like to add Casey to our list of screeners," Simon said. He added the contractor would also support the prevention unit when staff need extra help. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the addition during the meeting. The transcript does not provide the contractor’s last name, contract amount or term.
