Probation

In most jurisdictions, probationary supervision is mandatory in DUI/DWI cases and for other alcohol-related crimes. So while alcohol offenders likely account for a large part of your caseload, you also have more serious offenders to supervise (such as those involved in illegal drugs or violent crimes) that require the bulk of your time and attention.

The good news for probation officers is that SCRAMx can help take more than 90% of your alcohol cases off your plate.

To date, results from this dual technology show a compliance rate of 91% while offenders are wearing the device! That’s clear evidence that the combination of CAM and house arrest together boosts accountability and compliance to levels never before seen in the criminal justice system.

With SCRAMx, probation officers can:

  • Pare your alcohol caseload down to only those 9% requiring more intensive supervision
  • Streamline case management by letting you focus on your more dangerous probationers
  • Dramatically reduce the number of people you actively supervise and the associated costs
  • Flexibly “ratchet up” sanctioning options for the more difficult 9% who drink or tamper with SCRAMx
  • Ensure compliance with court-ordered abstinence as a condition of probation
  • Assesses the offender’s alcohol dependency and drinking patterns
  • Enable offenders to maintain jobs and family obligations, and contribute positively to the community while on probation
  • Help produce better long-term outcomes when combined with treatment
