Context
In 1979 Sussex Police was one of two police forces selected to trial the Lion Alcolmeter S-L2 (Patrol October 1979). This was a hand held electronic breath testing machine designed to replace the cumbersome "blow in bag" devices that had been used for road side breath testing since the late 1960s. The trials were a success and the new machines began to replace the bag equipment nationally in 1980.
This booklet was produced to train officer's in the use of the new machines and this particular example is date stamped April 1980 and was was issued to Sergeant Richard Harman.
