Vermont has an effective and efficient DUI/DWI enforcement and prosecution system. Vermont uses the DataMaster DMT device to collect a breath test from a DUI suspect - this device reports the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) as a three-digit number (for example, .125%).
The DMT test is administered by the police officer in a secure location such as a police station or barracks, after the suspect is arrested, and the suspect is informed of his or her rights under the Implied Consent Law and provided with an opportunity to consult with a lawyer for advice before the test is taken or refused.The Vermont Forensic Laboratory is the state agency responsible for Breath Alcohol Analysis.
