Secure Release When Traditional Bail Is Restricted

Ankle monitoring services in Winston Salem help high flight-risk clients meet court-ordered GPS tracking requirements and avoid pretrial detention.

If a judge determines you are a flight risk or poses a community safety concern, they may approve your release only if you agree to wear a GPS ankle monitor that tracks your location around the clock. In Winston Salem and across the Triad area, ankle monitoring coordination is required before you can leave custody when traditional bail conditions are not sufficient on their own. I Gotchu Bailbonding works with court-approved monitoring programs to arrange device installation, explain compliance rules, and confirm that tracking is active before your release is finalized.

This service involves scheduling the monitor fitting, setting up the reporting software, and ensuring you understand movement restrictions such as curfew times, approved zones, and prohibited locations. The device sends real-time location data to the monitoring company, which reports any violations to the court. Following the rules prevents additional charges, bond revocation, and immediate re-arrest.

What Happens After the Monitor Is Installed

Once the court approves monitoring, you are scheduled for device installation at a designated facility in Winston Salem or a nearby county office. The ankle monitor is strapped to your leg with a tamper-proof band, and the monitoring company activates GPS tracking before you leave the building. You receive a printout of your movement restrictions, curfew hours, and the phone number to call if the device malfunctions or loses signal.

After installation, you can move freely within approved zones such as your home, workplace, and court-ordered appointments, but you cannot leave the designated area or tamper with the device. The monitoring company receives alerts if you enter a restricted location, miss curfew, or try to remove the band. Violations are reported to the court within hours, and a warrant for your arrest is typically issued the same day.

The device must stay charged, and you are responsible for plugging it in daily at home using the provided charging cable. Battery death is treated the same as tampering. Monitoring ends when your case is resolved or the court lifts the requirement, at which point you return to the monitoring office for removal.

People in Winston Salem frequently ask about how the device affects work schedules, what happens if they need to travel, and how violations are tracked.

Clients often feel uncertain about daily compliance

Judges typically order monitoring for defendants with prior failures to appear, out-of-state ties, serious felony charges, or cases involving alleged threats to victims or witnesses. It allows release while reducing the likelihood of flight.
What types of cases require ankle monitoring instead of standard bail?
Most monitoring programs charge a setup fee and a daily or weekly monitoring fee that you pay directly to the provider. I Gotchu Bailbonding coordinates the arrangement but does not collect the monitoring fees.
How much does ankle monitoring cost in Winston Salem?
You must request pre-approval from the monitoring company or the court, depending on your release conditions. Unapproved travel outside your zone triggers an immediate violation alert.
What happens if I need to leave the approved zone for work or medical appointments?
The GPS device sends location data to the monitoring company continuously, and automated alerts flag violations such as entering restricted areas, missing curfew, or device tampering. The company reports violations to the court and your bondsman within hours.
How does the court know if I violate my ankle monitoring terms?
You must contact the monitoring company immediately using the number provided at installation. Failure to report a malfunction can be treated as tampering, so you need to document the issue as soon as you notice it.
What should I do if the ankle monitor stops working or loses signal?
