SEE WHY TEST ALERTS IS THE PREFERRED TOOL FOR COURTS & TESTING AGENCIES
What is PDANS?
PDANS is the engine that powers Test Alerts. PDANS is an acronym for Progressive Drug and Alcohol Test Notification Service.
Together Test Alerts, powered by PDANS offers a reliable notification service to support court ordered random drug and alcohol testing.
What are the costs?
Our progressive notification feature results in fewer bond and probation violations. Provides complete documentation of testing history. As well, streamlining communications and improving compliance and efficiency.
All at no cost to the Courts or Testing Agency.
How does it work?
Each “subscriber/testing subject” is pre-assigned a “color/group” by the court.
Our notification service notifies the selected subscribers if they need to test or not. If they must report to test, and have not confirmed, the system will escalate the notifications to positively notify the subscriber that they need to test.
