Court services report progress on Repath monitoring software used in pretrial supervision
Summary
Court services reported that 15 defendants used the Repath GPS/monitoring app over the past six months, with seven active users; staff said the app provides exclusion-zone alerts, curfew monitoring and check-ins that support supervision and court reporting.
The district court administrator and Theresa, chief court services officer, updated the commission on the Repath monitoring platform funded in part by opioid funds. Theresa said 15 individuals have used the application over six months, with seven currently active. She described functionality the office relies on: exclusion zones, curfew alerts, GPS-based check-ins, notifications if location services are disabled and messaging to defendants.
Staff said the tool has been used to verify violations and to provide timely location information for court and law enforcement. Former court-services staff and the current administrator praised the program's usefulness for supervision decisions and information-sharing with prosecutors and judges.
