Background:
Since its inception in FY02, defendants in a pretrial status or sentenced misdemeanor offenders have been supervised by the Department of Court Services' Pretrial Services programs by utilizing Electronic Monitoring (EM) and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) as a special condition. Since FY15, Court Services has included Transdermal Alcohol Detector (TAD) as another potential alternative for the Courts to assign defendants. As of FY20, Court Services has included the SL3 Mobile Breathalyzer as an additional alternative to the TAD device for alcohol detection. These defendants are closely supervised and monitored in the community utilizing evidence based technology, thereby reducing the need to remain in custody.
