ASAP Standards. Our Promise

The number one thing the "typical GPS" provider guarantees to provide the community is 100% deniability. They will ensure that they have an excuse and someone to blame when everything goes wrong.
Assured Supervision Accountability Program (ASAP Release) is NOT the "typical GPS" provider.
ASAP Release is 100% accountable and supervises every offender enrolled in the ASAP Release supervision program with full arrest powers. The buck stops with the ASAP Release program!
We do this by following a set of standards that the "typical GPS" providers refuse to follow. Standards that ensure the community can count on ASAP Release to be the single most accountable solution available to the criminal justice system.

ASAP RELEASE STANDARDS

ASAP IS DIFFERENT

ASAP supports the development of rules and regulations governing providers of electronic monitoring services in Louisiana, and voluntarily holds itself to the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and service.

1. A supervision program must be local.

To be able to respond to violations and to serve the Court properly, a supervision program must be available immediately. A company that provides a device and simply “monitors” that device from other states cannot be made accountable when things go wrong.

2. A supervision program must have a standard reporting process.

Reports must be clear, understandable, and available to all involved in the case. They should be clocked in by the clerk's office so that they become a part of the record (except monthly summary reports). The monthly summary reports are sent to the section of Court and to the District Attorney's Office.

• Reports and data should be routinely audited and reviewed to ensure accuracy and compliance with all conditions of the program.

• Reports should include, but not limited to:

• Enrollment reports

• Violation reports

• Court date reports

• Monthly summary reports

• Special request reports

• Proximity reports (victim protection)

3. A supervision program must have arrest powers

• To monitor and enforce the conditions that are set by a Judge, any supervision program must have the arrest powers provided for bail bonds under La RS Article 331. 

• The ability to enforce conditions to the point of re-arrest eliminates the “deniability” that is written into the typical GPS provider arrangements.

• ASAP Release Supervision is not a bonding company, but it is staffed with licensed and professional bail agents who can enforce conditions of bond via arrest under Art. 331
