GPS ELECTRONIC MONITORING

GPS MONITORING

Law enforcement and community corrections agencies use GPS ( Global Positioning System ) to monitor and track probation, parole, and day release program participants. This highly accurate technology has been used for this purpose for over 30 years. When coupled with around-the-clock monitoring of location data this has proven to be a valuable tool to hold offenders accountable while they are in the community.
