SCRAM Systems Evidentiary Hearings
SCRAM Case Studies
SCRAM or Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring has proven effective. Case studies throughout the United States and across the world show how continuous alcohol monitoring has effectively reduced alcohol related crime such as driving under the influence. Studies show a reduced cost to taxpayers and increased compliance of DUI offenders.
Cherokee County, Georgia SCRAM Success Story
Cherokee County implemented Georgia’s DUI Court pilot program ten years ago. Offenders are required to wear alcohol monitoring devices for a minimum of 90 days. The DUI Court is thriving over a decade later with over 800 successful participants.
Bothell, Washington SCRAM utilized for Public Safety
Bothell’s main concern was public safety. By requiring first-time and repeat DUI offenders to comply with SCRAM requirements Bothell has seen a high compliance rate.
San Diego, California SCRAM Leads to Early Intervention
San Diego’s SCRAM requirement led to high compliance for DUI offenders, reduced jail overcrowding and supported early intervention in alcohol addiction. All courthouses in the County support SCRAM requirements because of its success.
Alcohol Addiction Resources
The OPTIONS Program is composed of 3 mandatory steps and 1 optional component. The first component is the Drug Patch which monitors substance abuse. The second component is outpatient treatment including group and individual counseling as well as outside 12-step meetings. Finally, there is the Core Program which combines intake, treatment, case management and mentoring.

California DUI Lawyer’s Association
Many DUI defense attorneys in Orange County and throughout California will have their clients put on a SCRAM alcohol monitoring bracelet prior to even going to court. Showing the court that you are sober and have been sober for a long period of time can help your case. It shows proactive behavior as opposed to simply reacting to court requirements. To find out more about pre-trial (and pre-filing) SCRAM options contact DMS today at 714-245-9910.

Bail Resources
Pre-Trial SCRAM alcohol monitoring may aid in bail reduction in some cases. Judges will often order that repeat DUI offenders (and in some extreme cases first-time offenders) refrain from consuming alcohol. A SCRAM bracelet can help prove sobriety to a judge, prosecutor, probation officer or any other party. A judge may be more inclined to reduce bail if sobriety can be proven or even release you on your own recognizance with the requirement of alcohol monitoring.
