At 5:00 AM MDT on Thursday, September 18, 2025, SCRAM Systems will introduce a new third option to the Participant Agreement Acknowledgement during device assignment in SCRAMNET GPS.

During the 15-minute deployment, you may not be able to access SCRAMNET GPS, but messages from the SCRAM GPS device will continue to be processed uninterrupted. |
Device Assignment Enhancement
In June of 2025, SCRAM Systems released an enhancement in SCRAMNET GPS that requires you to make a “Participant Agreement Acknowledgement.” The addition of this acknowledgement to the enrollment process grew out of a need for better recordkeeping. This acknowledgement is simply a record of which Agreement was used at the time of enrollment and does not impact the level of court support you receive from SCRAM Systems.
Originally, you were presented with two choices. With this release you will now have three options from which to choose:
- The SCRAM GPS Participant Agreement, available on the SCRAM Systems Help and Support Site will be used for this client.
- A customized or provider/agency specific GPS Participant Agreement will be used for this client.
- NEW! A combination of customized or provider/agency specific and SCRAM Systems participant agreement documents will be used for this client.
First Option
Customers who use the SCRAM Systems-provided SCRAM GPS Program Participant Agreement and Health & Safety Notice, which is available for download from SCRAM Systems Help & Support, will choose the first option, “The SCRAM GPS Participant Agreement, available on the SCRAM Systems Help and Support Site will be used for this client.” This option indicates that you are using the default SCRAM GPS Participant Agreement that was developed by SCRAM Systems and is currently available in SCRAM GPS Help.
Once you have chosen an option, a more detailed explanation of the choice you have made will appear, along with a link to the SCRAM GPS Participant Agreement documents on GPS Help:
Second Option
Customers who use their own monitoring program participation agreements, which they have developed in-house, independent of SCRAM Systems, and are NOT accessed from SCRAM Systems Help & Support, should choose the second option, “A customized or provider/agency specific GPS Participant Agreement will be used for this client,” as shown below:
Third Option
Customers who use their own monitoring program participation agreements, which they have developed in-house and independent of SCRAM Systems, but combine it with the SCRAM Systems Health & Safety Notice, should select the third Participant Agreement Acknowledgement option.
 | If you are unsure about the type of monitoring program participation agreement used by your organization, ask your supervisor or program administrator. |
Completing the Device Assignment
Once you have chosen the appropriate Participant Agreement Acknowledgement, then Apply Changes and continue with the device assignment process as usual.
 | Tip: Regardless of which option you select, SCRAM Systems recommends you print two copies of the Participant Agreement and have the client and agent sign both copies – one copy for your records and one copy for the client’s records. |
Audit Report
The Participant Agreement Acknowledgement selection made will be reflected in the Audit Report. This ensures a comprehensive and auditable history of agreement usage for each device assignment.
