JSO stopped using cocaine field tests Wednesday after finding they generate false-positives for common over-the-counter medications.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office will no longer use cocaine field testing kits after learning they return false positives for some common over-the-counter medications.immediately and to return any unused kits in their possession. The memo says if an officer encounters a substance they believe to be cocaine, they will now need to submit it for formal testing by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement lab and seek a warrant at a later date if it tests positive.
“There was no mention to me of them discontinuing the product,” Scott said in a telephone interview. “The first I’m hearing about that is from you, unfortunately.”“I have no sense of the scale,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s been one case or five. But I can’t imagine it’s horribly widespread.”
