SCOPE OF SERVICES

EXHIBIT A

SCOPE OF SERVICES

1. BLOOD DRAW: phlebotomy is the drawing of blood from a subject for a variety of purposes, transfusion, diagnosis, content analysis, or experiment. Law enforcement's interest in a blood sample is generally to obtain content analysis as evidence in narcotic or alcohol related events, and to obtain DNA samples for comparison to bodily fluid or body part samples collected at a crime scene. The general authority of law enforcement to obtain evidence is covered under Article I, Section 13 of the California State Constitution. Law enforcement is also obligated by state law to offer blood draws in the investigation of driving under the influence cases, per Section 23158 of the California Vehicle Code. Blood draws are also a part sex offender and arson registrant DNA collection under Section 296 of the California Penal Code. The obtaining of blood or urine samples is also an integral part of many non-driving-under-the-influence criminal investigations. Blood or urine samples may be requested for a variety of reasons and the process of collecting such samples must meet all applicable laws and regulations for the collection of:
a. Blood alcohol content analysis
b. Controlled substance content analysis
