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. These defendants are closely supervised and monitored in the community utilizing evidence based technology, thereby reducing the need to remain in custody.
