Associated Pathologists Laboratories (APL), has been awarded a contract by Rhode Island Department of Corrections to provide pre-employment drug testing services. Rhode Island will screen training academy applicants for drugs of abuse using APL’s proprietary hair testing method (patents pending). Under this program, a small sample of the job applicant’s hair will be sent to APL’s central laboratory in Las Vegas for testing. Applicants will be tested for past use of cocaine, methamphetamines, opiates, PCP and marijuana.

The Minneapolis Police Department has a new way to fight crime with the launch of the ShotSpotter, a sensor system that can locate gunshots. The $325,000-plus system is already used in several cities and will be used in Minneapolis' South side in about a week and the North side in a month. ShotSpotter will notify dispatch right away when a gun is fired and give officers nearly the exact address, says Lt. Greg Reinhardt at the Minneapolis Police Department. The system is comprised of 80 sensors that can reach about four square miles of the city that account for half of the calls police receive about shots fired. http://www.startribune.com/467/story/873639.html
