It will be okay

  • GPS Wrist Monitors Are Here!

    Introducing the new GPS wrist monitor for pre-trial releases, furloughs, home confinement, and curfews—designed with comfort, reliability, and advanced tracking technology in mind. This sleek, lightweight, watch-style tracker ensures continuous, accurate monitoring while allowing greater freedom without the stigma of a bulky, traditional ankle monitor.

  • Great Rates, Great Service

    With years of success behind us in the public criminal justice setting, we decided to open a private probation company to do things better, faster, and cheaper. We’re committed to offering the best services at the best value, and our rates are by far the most reasonable you’ll find, starting with a monthly private probation fee of only $30. We even accept cash, Venmo, and Cash App. For many clients, we’re a great alternative to other places due to the one-on-one attention we offer so your case can be closed out successfully at the halfway point. We’re also the only location that offers the new Road Rage Elimination course and GPS Wrist Monitors!

  • On-Demand & Mobile Services!

    At Utah Probation Services, we understand sometimes life gets in the way and all the sudden it’s time for court but you’re not ready. Or maybe your license is revoked and you can’t risk driving right now. We offer the flexibility of on-demand services to fit your schedule and mobile services for your convenience. For a small fee, both options are available nights, weekends, and most holidays, and apply to all of our services.

  • We are here to help you

    Utah Probation Services is all about helping people through the most challenging, nerve-wracking time of their lives (we even have a therapy dog available for your appointment). Whether it’s helping you discover community service options that work for you, finding the most reliable ignition interlock provider, or locating the best therapist to meet your needs. We love empowering our clients to be their best, confident selves. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where we welcome people from all backgrounds, and are proud to serve our LGBTQ+ and veteran communities.

Featured Services

GPS Monitoring for Defendants

We have new GPS wrist monitors! They are tamper-proof, water-resistant, and the size of a large watch (with a camera!), but much less embarrassing than wearing a big ankle monitor. These new GPS Wrist Monitors are $13 per day. Our standard GPS Ankle Monitors are only $10 per day. Electronic monitoring is for anyone ordered to a curfew, home confinement, furlough, or offered a pre-trial release. GPS monitoring provides an excellent opportunity that allows defendants to attend treatment and continue working to pay fines, restitution, and child support. This service is available statewide, and outside of Salt Lake, Tooele, Summit, Davis, and Utah counties, there is an additional travel fee for installation.

The Shield App for Victims of Stalking & DV

If a domestic violence perpetrator or stalker is wearing our GPS Wrist Monitor, their victim has access to use the Shield App for free! It provides the victim with real-time notifications and has a floating buffer zone so the victim can move around freely while the defendant is alerted to leave the area. We will also geo-fence where the victim lives, works, where the children attend school, and any other places they frequent.

Private Probation & Pre-Trial Supervision

If you don’t want to be just another number or be assigned to someone inexperienced at one of the other companies, come to Utah Probation Services. Relax in our big recliner, enjoy a beverage, and let’s create a personalized probation plan to complete your court requirements in the quickest amount of time. With our proven record of successful closures and early terminations, we’ll assist you in navigating the court process and fulfilling your pre-trial or probation requirements. We will accommodate your schedule, including evenings and weekends. You’ll even have the option of a certified therapy dog in your appointment on Wednesdays, Fridays, and most evenings. Private probation and pre-trial services are only $30 per month and are available in Salt Lake, Summit, Tooele, Davis, and Utah counties.

Oral Swab Drug Testing

Enjoy keeping your pants on with our highly accurate, extremely budget-friendly forensic-grade drug testing via saliva. We offer a tamper-proof, 14-panel drug test that includes fentanyl. With our handy oral fluid testing, you’ll have results in about 10 minutes without the embarrassment. Additionally, if you’re on probation or in drug court in another jurisdiction, we’re available for drug testing while you’re in the Salt Lake area, even including evening, weekend, and holiday testing.
