Smart Start Wins Cook County with Portable Alcohol Monitoring Device Services

Cook County, or the Chicago area, will now issue the SmartMobile™ as their court-ordered portable alcohol monitoring device for adult probation and social services.

The current contract between Cook County and Smart Start took effect May 1 this year.

The SmartMobile Advantage

SmartMobile is a portable, lightweight device that measures with precise accuracy the alcohol content in the client’s breath. SmartMobile can issue scheduled, random and/or on-demand test windows to determine a client’s sobriety, ensuring they are successfully completing their program.

To ensure convenience for our clients, the SmartMobile has a user-friendly display with a menu that shows upcoming scheduled tests and appointments. It also alerts the client of an upcoming test with a beeping noise. Our device’s battery can also last up to 120 hours, or five days, without needing to charge.

Tests are also only a few seconds long to complete. In fact, the SmartMobile can be taken anywhere: a plus for clients who need to travel for work or go on vacations.
