GET INVOLVED

There are many initiatives led by dedicated individuals and organizations addressing broad criminal justice issues that have the potential to mitigate the impact of inaccurate roadside drug tests. We welcome and support these initiatives. At the same time, these efforts involve complex policy changes with wide-ranging implications and may take years to advance.
