HomeMy WebLinkAboutDUI monitoring JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONSENT AGENDA REQUEST TO: Jefferson County Board of Commissioners FROM: Brian Gleason, District Court Administrator DATE: re{,arrca I Z, 202 Y SUBJECT: Ascentec Holdings LLC "VCheck24 Services" service agreement STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The purpose of this agreement is to provide a one-year service agreement between Ascentec Holdings LLC and District Court Probation to use the on-line app VCheck24 Services. ANALYSIS: This agreement covers service and training for the District Court Probation office to use VCheck24 Services to monitor probation clients as a jail alternative or enhanced pre-trial monitoring. Clients are subject to random and scheduled video check-ins with verbal and soon facial recognition of the client, continuous GPS Location Tracking and instant alerts for violations of CTPS restrained zones. It allows for greater communication between clients and probation officers including texting, video conferencing and automated reminders for court dates, daily medications, medical and treatment appointments. District Court staff have personally test run the application to monitor the effectiveness of the application. VCheck24 will provide equity for pre and post-conviction clients as it allows an opportunity for those with limited income to have an option to be released from custody and be actively monitored. The accessibility and low cost of VCheck24 is a much needed alternative to keeping an individual in jail or struggling to pay the costs for traditional Electronic Home Monitoring(EHM) which are much higher. In addition,traditional EHM programs are currently not available in Jefferson County requiring special appointments. Pretrial detention is disruptive, causing people to lose their jobs, housing, family-ties and custody of their children. Research shows that any time in jail before trial contributes to an increase in the likelihood of future arrest. FISCAL IMPACT: District Court has a line item for DUI Electronic Monitoring to cover the initial costs for set up and monthly billing. Billing will depend on numbers of days used per client placed on supervision via VCheck24. Probationers will be ordered to reimburse the court for the cost of the monthly service unless waived per court order or covered by other grant funded programs such as 1/10'h Treatment Sale Tax funding. The use of VCheck24 will offer a cost savings to the county by potentially allowing a person out on monitored release as compared to the 2019 daily costs estimate of$135/day housed at our jail,not including extra costs for medical issues. RECOMMENDATION: District Court Probation requests approval of this agreement.
