What it is and who needs it.
What the agency bond actually covers
A private home detention monitoring agency supervises people serving home detention — typically using electronic monitoring — in place of incarceration. Maryland licenses these agencies through the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS), under regulations at COMAR 12.11.10.
As a condition of licensure, the agency files a surety bond conditioned on its faithful and honest conduct, running to the State of Maryland for the benefit of any person injured by a wrongful act of the agency that is willful or malicious. The amount is not less than $2,500; confirm any higher figure DPSCS sets on your notice.
The bond must be kept in effect at all times while you are licensed — if the surety cancels or terminates it, the surety must notify the Secretary, and until that notice is given the bond stays in force. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue whatever amount applies at a flat 3% with no credit check.
