Location monitoring is a supervision condition that is used as an alternative to detention to help enhance community safety. This condition may require people to be confined to their home or monitored in the community by using a transmitter that can be worn or carried 24 hours a day.

Restrictions vary from 24-hour-a-day lockdown to allowing preapproved and scheduled absences for work, school, treatment, church, attorney appointments, court appearances, and other court-ordered obligations.
The officer's duties include an initial determination as to whether a person is eligible for location monitoring. Once the condition is imposed, the officer will use the following steps to ensure compliance:
Examples that may preclude participation in the location monitoring program include serious or repeat offenders, or people who have previously failed on supervision.
