Many jurisdictions would have enough cases come through to justify employing someone trained to draw a blood sample.

Btw here (Sweden) the breathalyzer is only used to help decide whether someone gets picked up for a blood draw or not. Only a blood test can be used to convict someone.

To be honest, having someone affiliated with the justice department would not be seen as something that increases trust.

There are historical and current issues that cause this distrust, having an adversarial or multiple third parties is probably the best option for the US.
