24-39-S, SUPERSEDES 17-44-S IN RE: CRIMINAL - EMPACT ELECTRONIC MONITORING OF DEFENDANTS AS A CONDITION OF PRETRIAL RELEASE - GENERAL GUIDELINES, GENERALLY, AND SPECIFICALLY IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MATTERS - ORDERED 9/23/2024 BY CHARLES G. CRAWFORD

EXCERPT: “EMPACT (Electronic Monitoring Protection and Crime Tracking), as a pretrial release condition for certain qualified defendants; and since that time the program has expanded to include a domestic violence and dating violence program, or DV EMPACT, which introduces an additional level of security by offering the ability to immediately notify the victim, law enforcement, and others of certain specified violations perpetrated by a defendant; and although this initiative should not be considered a failsafe assurance on behalf of the victim, it does provide a near to real-time accounting of the defendant’s whereabouts and activities, thereby enhancing both the security of the victim and the responsibility of the defendant to answer for violations of conditions of pretrial release; (Open AO for more information.)”
