INCARCERATION DIVERSION PROGRAM

GPS
The GPS (Global Positioning System) office is located in the lobby of the Jail at 63 Western Avenue.

This office is open daily from 5:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
Office telephone number is (920) 906-5511.

The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office Jail Division operates an Incarceration Diversion Program to include, but not limited to, a Global Positioning System (GPS) as an alternative to physical confinement within the Jail proper. The Incarceration Diversion Program is not used in lieu of incarceration, but as an extension of the detention system. The Incarceration Diversion Program was designed for offenders who pose a minimal risk to the community, or whose behavior and offense indicate a need for close supervision.

At the time of your sentencing in Fond du Lac County, the Judge’s Clerk will provide you with paperwork to complete. This Jail Information Packet is then forwarded to the Jail. The GPS Staff reviews the information sheet and a determination is made regarding placement. You do NOT need to submit a separate application for placement on GPS program. If you did not receive paperwork at the time of sentencing, you can download the information here.

Forthwith Sentences:
In the event that you anticipate being sentenced forthwith (going directly to jail from your sentencing hearing) with Huber privileges, it is recommended that you make contact with jail staff/GPS Office at least 3 weeks prior to your sentencing at 920-906-5511 or in person at the Jail between the hours of 5am and 5pm.  This will help expedite your ability to utilize Huber.  In the event your sentencing / forthwith date changes, please advise GPS Staff.

THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE PLACEMENT ON THE INCARCERATION DIVERSION PROGRAMS

The privilege of GPS home monitoring as alternative housing is considered at the discretion of the jail. Consideration is based on the following (but not limited to) criteria:

• Inmate must have full-time, verifiable, payroll employment (Cash jobs are not allowed)

• Inmate must have approved, verified residence within Fond du Lac County, unless out of county exception is granted by Staff Sergeant.

• Open criminal cases

• Charges for acts of domestic violence

• Sentence length

• Current or past Jail classification and behavior

• Severity of charges and criminal history

• Recommendation of Probation Agent

• Agreement to fees related to GPS and rules associated with the program

• ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL, WEAPONS, OR ILLEGAL DRUGS ARE ALLOWED IN THE RESIDENCE DURING THE TIME PERIOD THAT YOU ARE ON THE PROGRAM. ALL OTHER ADULTS IN THE HOUSEHOLD MUST AGREE TO THIS PROVISION.

Fees are $22.00 per day or $154.00 per week.  If deemed necessary, you may be required to utilize an in-home, alcohol monitoring unit.  First two weeks of fees and the per diem (maintenance fee explained below) are due, in cash, at the time of booking. We accept cash and credit cards for subsequent payments. We do not accept personal checks.

All fees must be paid one week in advance.

In addition to Huber fees, each person is required to pay a per diem (maintenance fee). The fee is $5.00 per day, for a maximum of 10 days per sentence (case number). If the sentence is more than 10 days in length the maximum charge is $50.00. This charge is based on days sentenced, not actual days spent in custody.

The program supervisor will make the final determination of placement of all applicants.
