Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor
SCRAM® (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor) is a tool that helps courts and agencies continuously monitor their alcohol offenders to ensure they’re not drinking. SCRAM provides the courts, probation, attorneys, diversion programs and other criminal justice professionals a tool to deter, detect, and receive confirmed documentation of alcohol use via transdermal technology 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Because SCRAM continuously monitors offenders – as often as every half hour around the clock – it is a much more effective and reliable alternative to random testing methods or incarceration. SCRAM is currently offered in partnership with Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc. (AMS).
