The Los Angeles County Probation Department's Electronic Monitoring Program accepts both Felony and Misdemeanor pretrial cases.  Pretrial release is for defendants awaiting their trial.

 

The Court is making the referral.  The defendant is referred to Pretrial Services (PTS) Bureau of the Los Angeles County Probation Department for a suitability assessment. 

 

The Court will instruct the offender to call Pretrial Services EM Staff at (213) 893-5369 by next business day to complete an application.  The application is completed during the initial phone call.  EM staff will then verify information and complete a risk assessment.  The result is an assessment report which will be communicated back to the Court.  

​

Once the Court has ordered the defendant on EM, the Court's conditions of the Electronic Monitoring are documented in the Court Ordered Monitoring Conditions form of which the defendant gets a copy.  

​

The defendant is instructed to contact CorrectiveSolutions (phone number on the Monitoring Conditions form) within 24 hours.  Note: if the defendant has been ordered on EM and given the Court Ordered Monitoring Conditions form prior to an assessment by PTS, the defendant must contact PTS and complete the application process including the assessment prior to contacting CorrectiveSolutions.  

​

Once appropriate electronic monitoring equipment has been fitted at one of CorrectiveSolutions' offices and the defendant has been enrolled, CorrectiveSolutions will notify the Court and EM staff.
