OSPS will never ask for payment for GPS or supervision services. Our services are free of charge to defendants. We have become aware of scammers asking defendants’ families for hundreds or thousands of dollars for the defendant’s release or special programs. These are scams. If you receive such contact please report it to law enforcement immediately and cease contact with the individual and never provide private information or pay any money.
