SCRAM of California

General information

Our History, Our Vision

Like many of the great technologies that impact our world today, the flagship product of AMS, the SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring® (SCRAM CAM™) system, was started in the garage of a forward-thinking engineer. With a career history working on DOT-approved, handheld breath testing devices, our company founders identified a substantial need to better manage alcohol monitoring long-term in the criminal justice system.

In 1989 they began research into the world of transdermal alcohol testing. And in 1997, their vision came clearly into focus, with the founding of Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc.

Nearly two decades later, AMS has evolved with the changing technologies, the changing marketplace, and the changing needs of our customers and our communities. Our focus today, led by the success of our flagship SCRAM CAM product, continues to be delivering technology solutions that are on the leading edge of what courts, agencies, and treatment providers need, and how our technologies can truly Make a Difference in the lives of offenders, their families, and their communities.
