Clark County approves fund for GPS and alcohol monitors

The Clark County Council voted unanimously last week to authorize $422,400 in emergency funding for District Court’s electronic monitoring programs, after current funding was set to run out by the fall.

The one-time allocation from the general fund serves as a financial bridge following the expiration of state grant funding. The move guarantees that local courts can keep utilizing continuous alcohol-sensing technology, as well as real-time GPS tracking in domestic violence cases, for defendants with pending cases or people on probation.
