Configuring the proper exclusion zones is integral to monitoring GPS clients, as it determines where these clients are not allowed to enter.

With the new “Schedules” feature for SCRAM GPS®, officers have more flexibility when setting up client exclusion zones.
How can community corrections departments and supervision agencies be sure that their electronic monitoring programs are producing positive results?

Domestic violence is a persistent issue across the country—one that has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.

From raw GPS location points to client stop patterns, SCRAM Systems is constantly striving to develop new methods to distill the 1,440 location points generated per client per day into quantitative data for officers.

For sexual assault or domestic violence victims, knowing their abuser is being tracked with a GPS bracelet may not be enough. Working in conjunction with SCRAM GPS, the new SCRAM Ally Victim Notification app alerts the victim and supervising authorities when a GPS client is in proximity to the victim’s phone, for added peace of mind.
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.
