Section 291-042-0025 - Baseline Test Selection Protocol

(1) Approximately 5% of the AIC population will be picked at random by the department's Research Unit each month for urinalysis testing. Random selection will be completed by a designated computer program. Functional unit managers will designate employee(s) who are authorized to receive and secure these lists until testing.

(2) The list shall be secured until the specimens can be obtained.

(3) The list shall remain "confidential" and be marked as such at all times. Only those staff members designated to receive the list and those designated to collect the sample will view the list. AICs are strictly prohibited from observing the list at any time. AICs are strictly prohibited from entering any area where the list is located.

(4) Staff will draw samples from each AIC on the list within 72 hours. If a listed AIC or an entire list of AICs is not tested for any reason (transferred, out-to-court, staff shortage, etc.), a written explanation signed by the functional unit manager or designee will be forwarded to the Salem Investigations Office within 72 hours from the beginning date when the samples were supposed to be collected.

(5) All urine samples obtained under the random testing program will be forwarded to the approved contract SOA laboratory for testing.
