Repeat and hardcore drunk drivers account for the most serious alcohol-related crimes and pose a significant threat to their communities. But innovative, criteria-based programs utilizing alcohol monitoring technology can help reduce the danger caused by these types of alcohol clients and put them on the path to sobriety.
Research shows that “one-size-fits-all” alcohol programs don’t work. Effective and cost-efficient programs tailor requirements to fit each client’s needs and risks. SCRAM Systems provides the solutions you need to manage the full range of alcohol clients in your program and reduce risks to your community.
As part of their monitoring regimen, officers may want to know a client’s location in addition to their alcohol monitoring. While the SCRAM CAM® bracelet does not have built-in GPS, SCRAM Systems offers other solutions that can be used in tandem with or in lieu of a continuous alcohol monitoring bracelet.
DUI clients know they are not allowed to drink alcohol while wearing the SCRAM CAM® bracelet—but what about using products that contain trace amounts of alcohol—like mouthwash or perfume? It’s important to know which products are permitted for use while wearing SCRAM CAM to avoid any potential tamper or drinking alerts.
False Positive Rates, False Negative Rates, and Positive Predictive Values are specific diagnostic test statistics that have been evaluated as part of rigorous testing protocols of SCRAM CAM devices. Literature shows little to no evidence of any false positives in field and laboratory settings.

Concern about alcohol-related crime in the UK is high, and according to new polling, 91% of the public support the use of sobriety tagging for those who commit crimes under the influence of alcohol which can help punish and rehabilitate clients.
