CONCORD, N.H.- Gov. Kelly Ayotte and members of Law Enforcement gathered Monday for the official launch of the state’s new bail notification system that will inform police in real time on the bail conditions of an individual.
Officials say the new system links up all bail orders issued by either judges or bail commissioners onto the Department of Safety’s State Police On-Line Telecommunications System, otherwise known as S.P.O.T.S. so officers can see any decisions made in any court across the state on the same day.
The system includes the name and date of birth of the suspect, the last main offense that created a bail condition and whether those terms included a do-not-contact someone order or other restrictions such as on access to firearms or alcohol.
Gov. Ayotte called the system another ” critical tool to help us keep New Hampshire the safest state in the nation.“
