SuperCom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPCB) EM Tracking Increasingly Seen as Key to Successfully Addressing Domestic Violence
- Two incidents of domestic violence-related homicides in Maine help illustrate the importance of court-administered electronic monitoring programs for staving off violence between domestic partners after relationships break down
- With a track record of over 50 governments and 100,000 individuals served, SuperCom is innovating advanced electronic monitoring (“EM”) solutions to establish safeguards for potential victims
- SuperCom’s solution uses GPS technology to track the movements of domestic violence defendants, helping prevent further violence while also alerting law enforcement and potential victims if court-imposed boundaries are trespassed
Electronic monitoring technology developer SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) provides products and services that help clients track people under their supervision. Its solutions are primarily used by police and court agencies to monitor the movements of individuals released pretrial, on probation after conviction, or on parole following incarceration.
Concerns about the incidence of domestic violence are increasingly leading to the use of EM monitoring for individuals accused of such crimes. A U.S. Department of Justice grant to research the use of EM in domestic violence cases in two locations, published in 2004, found that the use of radio frequency (“RF”) devices to track domestic violence defendants and protect potential victims was received by the victims as “useful enhancements to their safety” (https://nnw.fm/7obaf ).
Nevertheless, the application of EM in helping to protect potential domestic violence victims is far from universal.
A recent news report on two instances of domestic violence-related homicides in Maine noted that electronic monitoring is only available for pretrial inmates in nine of the state’s 16 counties and is only used sparingly in all but two of those counties. According to the report, counties that don’t use EM say that bad cell reception and tight staffing make GPS monitoring challenging and many sheriffs say it’s too expensive (https://nnw.fm/XQTtY ).
The fathers of the two homicide victims pointed to electronic monitoring as a solution that could have saved their daughters’ lives and have taken on an advocacy role in seeking wider use of the technology.
SuperCom’s mission has been to make its PureSecurity EM platform available to agencies throughout the United States and Europe to enhance public safety efforts. The company was founded in 1988 and has served over 50 governments and 100,000 individuals.
The company’s leadership has announced several new contracts in the United States and Europe during the past year, many of them related to domestic violence monitoring.
“If you put someone on house arrest, you’re saving 90% of the costs, direct costs,” SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi said during a recent appearance at micro-cap conference platform LD Micro’s 17th annual invitational event (https://nnw.fm/Ae6ek ). “We won a $32 million project in Romania. Not only is that a substantial new project because Romania’s never done this before — and we’re talking about 15,000 offenders that we would be monitoring at any given point over the course of six years — but it also gives us a strong reference for any other projects around the world of similar size.”
SuperCom’s GPS technology is packaged in a sleek, waterproof design that improves on the bulky ankle monitors worn in other programs. It has a battery life of up to one year, eliminating the need for continuous daily recharging with an electrical source, and it is unobtrusive, allowing defendants to continue working and functioning in society without being stigmatized by obvious devices.
The platform’s advanced technology tracks the defendants’ location in real-time, including their elevation (for in-building details), while also relating to the location of participating victims, notifying the victim and local authorities about any incidents of trespassing the boundaries established by the law enforcement agencies.
SuperCom provides 24/7 monitoring services to support agencies in various programs, including inmate monitoring within prisons, rehabilitation initiatives, and substance abuse monitoring for individuals prohibited from consuming alcohol.
