There is no guarantee of acceptance into the program; generally, over 200 individuals apply and only 25 to 30 are typically accepted each year. This program is recognized and registered with the District of Columbia and Maryland.
All persons interested in making application must submit to a pre-admission drug screening. The cost of the drug screening is $35.00, payable by credit card or money order made payable to the JAC. Any applicant refusing to submit to the pre-admission drug screen will not be permitted to advance to the next step in the screening process.
All pre-admission drug screenings must be done through an approved Pembrooke provider. All drug screening is done through the JAC Office. No appointments are necessary. Pre-admission applicants will be given the laboratory paperwork and directions to the test center where the testing takes place. The drug screening must be performed within 48 hours of making payment and receiving all applicable paperwork. The drug screening results are only good for 30 days. All costs for the initial drug screening test, retesting, and subsequent follow up testing will be paid for by the applicant. Any applicant whose test results reveal intoxicants at or above the allowable limits will not be allowed admission. Those testing positive to the drug screening will be notified of their inability to continue the application process. Upon confirmation of a negative drug screening an applicant will be eligible to complete the application process.
