Six Steps to Help Meet Court Ordered Monitoring Requirements

User Tips from A 2nd Chance Monitoring

Life can be hard. That’s a statement you likely hear time and again, but it’s especially true if you are facing a court order that requires round-the-clock monitoring or alcohol screenings.

A 2nd Chance Monitoring helps individuals like you adhere to program requirements while also having the opportunity to rebuild your life. Our innovative monitoring solutions provide you with support, accountability and peace of mind. Here’s everything you need to know.

Get the Most Out of Your Monitoring Device

A 2nd Chance Monitoring works to ensure you meet the requirements of your pre-trial release, probation or diversion program. But you need to put in your own effort to help yourself succeed:

1. Don’t Forget to Charge Your Device

Our equipment boasts a long battery life and durable design to help you stay compliant. However, you need to regularly monitor the remaining battery life of your device and make it a habit to charge it at the same time every day. Many clients plug their equipment in at the end of the day while charging their other electronic belongings, such as their cell phones.

2. Check In with Your Point of Contact

If you are assigned a case manager or point-of-contact, make sure you check in with them at set intervals. Our device will show that you are staying accountable and following the rules, but it won’t exempt you from check-ins.

3. Play by the Rules

Carefully read over the requirements of your court order or diversion program to determine whether you’ve got a curfew. Additionally, pay attention to any locations to stay away from or any situations you should avoid. For instance, your program may require you to abstain from alcohol, so don’t frequent bars or parties where alcohol will be present.

4. Remember that Support is Just a Phone Call Away

5. Learn and Follow Your Schedule

Our machines are meant to help you return to a normal routine while also meeting your diversion program conditions. However, it’s up to you to stick to your approved schedule and communicate any changes made to it to your case manager.

6. Attend Any Court-Ordered Activities or Programs

You might be required to complete counseling or community service. Find out what classes you must take and meet their requirements as soon as possible. Don’t try to cram in a bunch of community service hours or educational courses at the last minute.
