Solutions | Compliance monitoring programs

Compliance Monitoring programs combine alcohol interlocks and countermeasures to ensure that an impaired driver will not start a vehicle. Program participants are either mandated administratively or court-ordered to install an alcohol interlock in their vehicle for a specific duration. During that period, the participant’s driving activity and alcohol test results are recorded and accessible by the Program Administrator.

ACS offers compliance monitoring services around the world with ALCOLOCK™, our partner through common ownership.

ALCOLOCK™ seeks to rehabilitate convicted drink drivers on their way to license reinstatement, supporting and guiding clients through what can be an intimidating and complicated process.

At the same time, we work with jurisdictional authorities to ensure that all program requirements are met, and any violations promptly reported. The result is an effective and positive way to be certain that clients do not drink and drive, both during the program and afterwards.

ALCOLOCK will make the participation process easy for you

What is an alcohol interlock?

Before being able to start the vehicle, the driver must take and pass a breath sample with the alcohol interlock. Once the interlock has determined the driver is below a preset BAC setpoint, the vehicle may be started. To prevent other people from providing the required breath sample, the interlock requires additional breath samples at random intervals during the trip.

Who pays for the alcohol interlock? What does it cost?

Drivers subject to an alcohol interlock condition are responsible for all installation and maintenance costs. When you call to book an appointment, a representative will provide details such as the monthly fees payable and service centre locations, and will collect the basic installation charge and any surcharge applicable to your vehicle.

How do I get an alcohol interlock installed in my vehicle?

We’ll make the entire process easy for you. Our installation centres are conveniently located and your alcohol interlock will be installed while you wait. Make sure you correctly identify the vehicle in which the interlock is to be installed when you book your appointment, so that we can ensure that we have the right components on hand when you arrive. If you specify the vehicle incorrectly or otherwise attend for your installation appointment with a vehicle other than that specified you may incur a vehicle surcharge or we may be unable to assist you, in which event, you’ll be required to pay a missed appointment fee. After the installation is complete, you will receive full training on-site and our technicians will take the time to ensure everything is operating properly before you leave.

What happens after the interlock is installed?

You will be required to visit the installation center 30 days after the installation and then every 60 days for your scheduled service and to download the data. Scheduled service appointments typically take less than 20 minutes.
