GPS Participant Acknowledgment Form

A participant ordered by the court to be monitored under the provisions of this section who fails to comply with any of the provisions of this section or who fails to comply with any additional condition of the court order, including location restrictions, may have his bond revoked or may be punished for contempt at the discretion of the court.

It is unlawful for any person, knowingly and without authority, to remove, tamper with, damage, destroy shield the signal from, or otherwise circumvent an active electronic monitoring device, or to aid or assist a person ordered by the court to be electronically monitored under the provisions of this section to remove, tamper with, damage, destroy, shield the signal from, or otherwise circumvent a monitoring device and, upon conviction, the person must be punished under the provisions of Section 24-13-425. This subsection does not apply to a person or agent of the electronic monitoring agency or bonding company, or member of law enforcement acting under the authority of and with compliance with the court order.

The electronic monitoring agency shall have a written policy prohibiting discrimination against a monitored individual regarding programs or services based on race, religion, national origin, sex, or disability. The electronic monitoring agency shall ensure that reasonable accommodation is made for an individual with a disability.

All electronic monitoring policies and procedures are subject to SLED audit.

(a) I agree to always wear my GPS device per my court order, and I understand wearing this monitor verifies my compliance with the conditions of my bond. I agree that I will always maintain possession of my approved device for the duration of my court order. I agree and understand that I will verify my identity and location at all times required by my court order. I agree to always maintain my assigned monitoring device for the duration of my court order. I understand and agree to follow reasonable orders from my bonding agent or an employee of my monitoring agency.

(b) I understand that in some areas within the State cellular coverage may require the use of an alternate device. If this becomes necessary, I understand that my electronic monitoring company may use an alternate approved device with approval of the court.

(c) I agree to make sure to keep my GPS monitor battery charged. I agree not to damage the monitoring device and I will keep it in good working order. I understand that I must report any damage, destruction, or noticeable malfunction of my GPS monitoring device, (whether accidental or intentional) and I will report if I have a dead GPS monitor battery. I UNDERSTAND AND I AGREE that I MUST report any of the above infractions (including a dead GPS battery) to the proper authorities. Furthermore, I also understand that I must (within two hours of the incident) report any infractions to my bail bondsman (if applicable), my monitoring agency, to the law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over my case, and any other party that is specified in my court order.

(d) I agree that I will abide by other terms and conditions set forth by my electronic monitoring agency regarding the monitoring device and electronic monitoring program.

(e) I understand that if my monitoring agency, or law enforcement agency (with jurisdiction over my offense) orders or directs me to turn myself in, I will comply and turn myself in to the proper detention facility.

(f) I understand that I must notify my electronic monitoring agency and the court if I change my address, phone number, or any other contact information.

(g) I understand that (unless I am ordered indigent by court order) I must pay for the cost of my approved GPS monitoring device for the duration of time that is required by my court order. The summary court or circuit court has jurisdiction upon motion of the defendant to consider exempting a person from the payment of a part or all of the cost during a part or all of the duration of the time the person is required to be electronically monitored, if it is determined that exceptional circumstances exist such that these payments cause a severe hardship to the person who is deemed indigent.

(h) I understand that my payment or cost of my GPS monitoring is a condition of my supervision. I also understand that if I am two weeks or more delinquent that it will be considered a violation of my bond terms/conditions and a violation to my electronic monitoring agency. Furthermore, I do understand that no person will be denied the privilege of electronic monitoring based on inability to pay upon a finding by the court that the defendant qualifies as indigent. I understand that the State shall allocate money to an indigency fund, which will be controlled by the Department of Public Safety. I also understand that money will be distributed to the monitoring companies as deemed appropriate, which will cover the cost of indigent participants.
