Emstether

EMS Tether is a company that provides electronic monitoring and alcohol monitoring solutions primarily used within the criminal justice and community supervision systems. Their technology is deployed to help courts, probation departments, and corrections agencies monitor individuals who are subject to alcohol-related offenses or other court-ordered supervision requirements. The company offers a suite of monitoring products and services designed to meet varying levels of risk, supervision models, and legal requirements.

At its core, EMS Tether focuses on alcohol monitoring technologies that can help ensure compliance with court orders in cases involving DUI (Driving Under the Influence), repeat alcohol offenses, or sobriety requirements. Their flagship product is a Continuous Alcohol Monitoring (CAM) system, which represents one of the most advanced technologies in the alcohol monitoring space. This system is worn 24/7 and automatically samples the wearer’s perspiration every 30 minutes to detect alcohol consumption. The continuous, passive nature of the monitoring means there are no scheduled tests to miss and it reduces opportunities for circumvention, offering a higher level of accountability for high-risk offenders.
