The Powder Springs City Council voted 5-0 Monday to approve an agreement with Ten-Eight Forensic Services of Douglasville to provide 24/7 assistance with drug testing or sex kits in case of rapes.

Police Chief John Robison said the company’s cost would be $75 for each drug screening that occurs a few times a year.

Robison told the city council during Wednesday’s agenda meeting that a previous company being used by the police department could not be reached when needed.
