The Office of the Sheriff operates an Electronic Home Detention program intended as an alternative to incarceration for those persons who are qualified for home detention. This program provides significant savings to the County when compared to regular incarceration. It also keeps
the County within the daily population standard as required in the three detention facilities.
Allied Universal Electronic Monitoring US, Inc. (formerly Attenti US, Inc.) develops, manufactures and provides innovative technology products for the criminal justice industry that help ensure the safety of communities and efficient, secure monitoring and tracking operations. Allied is a leading global provider of presence and location verification technologies and offers a complete suite of proprietary products and services. The vendor's solutions can be customized, and are based upon a full-featured, integrated platform that is scalable and highly flexible to meet the Office of the Sheriff's unique needs now and in the future.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve, the vendor cannot continue to provide services, which would cause the Office of the Sheriff to suspend the Electronic Home Detention Program and limit the Office of the Sheriff’s options for alternatives to incarceration.
