  • Staffed around the clock with a bilingual response team, Our Offender Monitoring Center stands alone in its ability to track and monitor offenders, supporting law enforcement and rehabilitation agencies. Agents act as response specialists, responding to offender violations, following the customized protocols set by their supervision officer.  The customized protocols enable every agency to have a solution that meets their needs.

     

  • Direct Communication

    Two- and three-way way voice technology enables operators to instantly connect officers with offenders for active violation intervention and rehabilitation behavior reinforcement.

     

  • Real-Time

    During a violation following offender specific protocols, agents immediately notify offenders and their supervising officer—increasing the safety of spouses, children, bystanders, families and the community.

     

  • Agents

    Our Offender Monitoring Center is staffed 24/7/365 with multi-lingual response agents that follow customized offender/agency specific protocols when an offender is in violation of their restrictions.


Why Offender Monitoring is needed
  • Courts, corrections and probation agencies are using electronic monitoring to improve public safety and reduce the cost of pre-trial detention, conditional release, probation and parole, drug and DUI monitoring

 

The United States system of justice is based in great part upon the concept that incarceration is the best method of controlling the offender population. According to the New York Times1, we incarcerate individuals for what other nations would not consider of sufficient merit to jail an individual. As a result, the following has occurred:

  • Jails are overcrowded.
  • In tough economic times there are no funds available to build new jails.
  • The costs of operating jails are out of control. All states are facing the same issue. "Our efforts to grow Michigan's economy and keep our state competitive are threatened by the rising costs in the Department of Corrections," Governor Jennifer Granholm told the Detroit News2. "We spend more on prisons than we do on higher education, and that has got to change. Corrections... already devours 20 cents of every tax dollar in the state's general fund."

GPS Tracking of Offenders

 

 

Everyday, over 4 million offenders in the U.S. are either on probation, parole, or some form of alternative sentencing or community supervision.  At the same time, across the nation, every community faces overcrowding jails and strained finances. 

Home incarceration using GPS monitoring has been a suitable alternative to jail or prison for several years.  The cost of GPS monitoring is substantially lower than keeping individuals behind bars.  The monitoring programs allows non-violent, pre-trial, and short term sentencing inmates to remain under supervision while in the community.
