Home Monitoring
Our home detention monitoring system provides continuous location tracking through advanced SCRAM technology. The waterproof ankle bracelet detects unauthorized movement while maintaining comfort for 24/7 compliance with court orders. Digital logs create enforceable records of curfew adherence for judicial review.
Alcohol Monitoring
SCRAMx continuously analyzes sweat every 30 minutes to detect alcohol consumption. This 24/7 monitoring creates irrefutable evidence of sobriety compliance, preventing offenders from circumventing testing schedules while providing real-time alerts for court-mandated restrictions.

Our GPS monitoring system combines cellular network tracking with anti-tamper technology to provide precise location data. The system generates instant alerts for restricted area violations while maintaining 3G connectivity for reliable tracking across state lines.

We conduct supervised drug testing at our Towson facility using standardized procedures for evidentiary integrity. Results are documented with chain-of-custody protocols to meet judicial requirements for substance use verification and compliance monitoring.
