Electronic monitoring · since 1988

Court-ordered monitoring, done by people you can call.

When a judge makes GPS, house arrest or sobriety monitoring a condition of bond, Robinson fits the device at release and stays on the line for the whole case. SLED-certified, local and family-run.

How monitoring works with Robinson

  • Call first. If monitoring is a release condition, the jail will not release until a certified provider has fitted the device.
  • We meet them at release. A bondsman meets the defendant at the jail, we fit the device, and every rule is explained before they leave.
  • Monthly check. Devices get a quick monthly inspection, about 10 minutes. Book an inspection online.
  • Pay monthly. GPS monitoring starts at $220 a month. Under SC Code 38-53-84, unpaid monitoring fees can lead to surrender, so call us early if money is tight.

Our reporting duties: South Carolina law requires monitoring providers to report violations of a monitoring order to the solicitor within 48 hours, and in violent-offense cases to report any contact with the alleged victim within 24 hours. We explain this on day one.

Monitoring questions

The judge ordered an ankle monitor. What happens now?

Call us before you do anything else. Robinson has been certified by the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) for electronic monitoring and has fitted GPS devices in Charleston since 1988. We arrange the bond and fit the device at release, so the person leaves already in compliance. GPS monitoring starts at $220 a month.

Who sees violations on a GPS monitor?

South Carolina law requires whoever provides the monitoring to tell the solicitor within 48 hours about any violation of the court's monitoring order (SC Code 38-53-84). In violent-offense cases, contact with the alleged victim must be reported within 24 hours (SC Code 38-53-55). We follow both rules, and we explain them on day one so there are no surprises.

What happens if the monthly monitoring fee is not paid?

Under SC Code 38-53-84, failing to pay the full monthly monitoring fee is, by itself, enough cause for the bondsman to ask to be relieved of the bond and to surrender the defendant. Talk to us early if money is tight. We would much rather work it out.
