Drink spiking victims will have access to drug testing kits in police stations across WA in a world-first initiative that will help sex assault squad detectives quickly identify and investigate crimes and take predators off the streets.

The specially developed, self-administered testing kits will be available in 24-hour police stations in the metropolitan area and all regional stations and can screen for more than 600 drugs with a simple sample.

The program, the first of its kind anywhere in the world, will not only help to swiftly identify potential crimes and bring offenders to justice, but to paint a clearer picture of the prevalence of drink spiking in WA.
