Summary of Request:
Redwood Toxicology Laboratory provides all drug/alcohol testing devices, and all specimen testing, for individuals (adult and juvenile) who are required to drug test for the Probation Department per the terms and conditions of their probation or pretrial release, as well as for participants of Adult Drug Court.
Redwood Toxicology Laboratory, one of the nation’s largest drug and alcohol testing laboratories, is the government services division of Alere Toxicology. Due to the nature of probation casework and court orders, the Probation Department requires accurate testing results as quickly as possible. RTL is located in Santa Rosa and is able to report our results usually within 10-12 hours of shipping specimens to them. RTL has a professional reputation, and their reports are fully admissible in court and are generally accepted by both the defense and court without challenge.
