Holiday Monitoring: Supporting Courts and Law Enforcement Around the Clock During the Busiest Season

As the holiday season approaches, courts and law enforcement agencies face unique challenges. With increased social gatherings, travel, and the year-end rush, workloads often intensify. At JSG Monitoring, we recognize the critical importance of maintaining public safety and compliance during this busy time, and our team is proud to support these efforts with unwavering commitment—working around the clock, 24/7/365.

Keeping Communities Safe During the Holidays

Statistics show that incidents of impaired driving, domestic disputes, and other offenses tend to spike during the holiday season. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), impaired driving incidents increase by nearly 25% in December compared to other months. Similarly, law enforcement reports indicate a significant uptick in calls related to domestic violence and violations of court orders.

JSG Monitoring’s electronic monitoring programs play a vital role in addressing these challenges:

• Ensuring Compliance: With tools like GPS tracking with victim notifications, SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring, and remote breath testing, JSG Monitoring ensures that individuals comply with court orders, even during the busiest and most tempting time of the year.

• Immediate Alerts: Real-time notifications keep supervising authorities informed about potential violations.

• Victim Protection: Our victim notification services provide an extra layer to the traditional GPS monitoring, offering peace of mind to those affected by domestic violence or other high-risk situations.

Alleviating the Burden on Courts and Law Enforcement

The holidays are not just busy for individuals—they’re also a hectic time for courts and law enforcement agencies. Processing violations, handling repeat offenders, and managing high caseloads can overwhelm even the most efficient systems. JSG Monitoring’s programs and dedicated team work tirelessly to reduce this strain in several ways:

1. Data Consolidation: Automated reports streamline the review process, providing clear, actionable data for decision-makers.

2. Cost Efficiency: By reducing the need for incarceration, electronic monitoring saves taxpayers money while maintaining public safety.

3. Time Savings: Real-time updates eliminate the need for constant manual check-ins, allowing officers to focus on critical tasks.

4. 24/7/365 Support: Our staff monitors clients and devices around the clock, ensuring immediate action can be taken, no matter the time of day or night.

This success is made possible by our team’s dedication to being available and responsive 24/7/365.
