De Baca County approves ankle monitor agreement

The De Baca County Commission last week approved a memorandum of understanding with Quay County and the 10th District Attorney’s office to participate in a prisoner monitoring program.

The program provides ankle monitors for prisoners released under pre-trial conditions. De Baca County will pay $3.64 per day for each monitor, which is tracked by Scram Systems, a national court and alcohol monitoring company.

District Attorney Tim Rose said ankle monitors were purchased through state funding and Quay County acts as the agency handling the program in the 10th Judicial District.
