Home Detention

Midstate Security’s Court Services Division offers a full range of alternatives and services geared toward the home detention program. Our division staff has a combined total of over 40 years in the law enforcement and criminal justice backgrounds. In addition to serving a growing number of District Courts in the State of Michigan with alternatives to jail overcrowding and caseload management; Midstate Security provides its own 24-hour state of the art monitoring center, located in Grandville Michigan, which you can learn more about by following the link at the top of this page.

The monitoring center provides immediate and accurate information to courts, probation officers, or law enforcement personnel of any violation committed by an offender. An individual can be set up on many custom-tailored programs ranging from full 24-hour “lock down”, to work release type programs, where the individual can be tracked remotely by either a passive “tether” device, or an active GPS unit. When using an active GPS tether, the supervising agent can actually have direct two-way communications with the offender, an industry first in an incredibly compact, lightweight GPS unit. Traditionally, courts had to use the larger “car battery” style passive GPS units, which did not allow for up-to-date instant information about the offenders whereabouts. Modern technology packages an incredibly small, lightweight cellular telephone with GPS capability with a traditional ankle tether to provide continual 100% coverage.

Midstate Security can provide, but is not limited to, placing clients on the following types of home detention devices:

Electronic Location Monitoring (Ankle Tether)
GPS Assisted Electronic Location Monitoring
Breathalyzer with Visual Verification
Breathalyzer with Visual Verification and Electronic Location Monitoring
Voice verification with any of the above

Our new MEMS 3000 home breathalyzer unit offers an industry first color, enhanced definition photograph of the offender for even greater reliability. The new 3000-series, builds on the reliable technology of the MEMS 2000 unit, while making it more reliable and easy to use. Gone are the days of lengthy instruction sheets and operational errors, the new MEMS 3000 unit offers single line instructions prompted by LED’s which instruct the client precisely and accurately, how to perform the test.
Midstate Security’s Command Center can provide information of any or all violations by fax, telephone, immediate notification, or next day notification (24 hours) and provides help to probation officers, or clients regarding equipment problems, questions, or concerns.
