At last week’s National Association of Counties (NACo) annual meeting in Pittsburgh, the NACo Justice and Public Safety Steering Committee approved a “Resolution in Support of Continuous Alcohol Monitoring for Pre-Trial Populations” at the 2012 Annual Conference and Exposition.
The resolution, sponsored by Multnomah County Commissioner Judy Shiprack and passed by members of the steering committee, encourages counties to integrate Continuous Alcohol Monitoring (CAM) technology into their jail management strategies, in particular for defendants incarcerated during pre-trial stages of case adjudication.
