GPS & Alcohol Monitoring
What Is GPS & Alcohol Monitoring?
GPS and alcohol monitoring are court-ordered tools used to make sure a defendant follows the conditions of their release while waiting for trial. These systems track a person’s location and/or alcohol consumption in real time, providing accountability for the court and peace of mind for law enforcement, family members, and the community.
At Josh Steward Bail Bonds, we partner with trusted, court-approved providers to set up GPS ankle monitors and alcohol detection devices when they’re required. In many cases, these tools allow defendants to remain at home, go to work, or be with their families instead of staying in jail — while still being monitored under strict legal guidelines.
When Is Monitoring Required?
Courts may require GPS or alcohol monitoring in cases such as DUI or other alcohol-related offenses, domestic violence, when a defendant is considered a flight risk, probation or parole violations, repeat offenses, or as an alternative to pre-trial detention. These monitoring systems ensure defendants comply with their release conditions while allowing them to continue daily activities under close supervision.
