ROWLAND AWARED BREATH TESTING CERTIFICATE

To be a good attorney you have to continue to study hard.  Charles M. Rowland II has done just that.  With a practice devoted largely to defending the accused drunk driver, Rowland felt the need to be certified on the breath test machine that often serves as the State's best evidence.

Rowland attended training at the headquarters of National Patent Analytic Systems, the maker of the BAC Datamaster, the Datamaster CDM and the newly minted DMT breath testing device.  He is now ready to take his newly acquired knowledge into the courtroom. "Last year I purchased the BAC Datamaster and found it to be very beneficial in my knowledge of the State's evidence.  I wanted to become certified on the machine so that I could provide the best defense possible to my clients." 

The three-day training seminar centered on the scientific principles of breath testing, infrared spectrophotometry, the chemical properties of ethanol absorption and elimination and the mechanical components of the instruments. "It was very intense.  We tore those things open and learned every scientific principle relative to the modern day process of evidential breath testing," said Rowland.

When asked why the manufacturer would allow defense attorneys to learn about the machine, Rowland cites the integrity, honesty and passion of John Fusco, CEO of NAPS and one of the driving forces behind breath testing. "He is dedicated to the process and really believes in the science behind his product.  He believes in the justice system and understands my role in defending my client."
