Domestic Violence Victim Data Breach is a Case Example Showing Critical Need for Monitoring Technology of SuperCom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPCB)
- Police in Australia recently reported a data-sharing error that caused domestic violence victims’ addresses to be published to the offenders accused of harassing them
- The situation demonstrated the vulnerability of the police service’s public safety measures, leading to recommendation that at least one of the victims move to a new residence, and highlighting the critical need for advanced electronic monitoring (“EM”) technology for domestic violence offenders
- SuperCom Ltd., a secured tracking solutions provider for governments, is focused on ensuring that its superior PureConnect EM platform is available for tracking the movements of offenders under parole and probation supervision, including accused domestic violence offenders
- The company’s technology not only helps meet public safety concerns but also helps accused offenders to remain employed and active in society
Electronic monitoring (“EM”) technology innovator SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) has built its PureSecurity suite as a public safety solution that draws on the most advanced technology to track the movements of potentially dangerous individuals who nevertheless are deemed a low enough risk that they can resume normal activities under observation.
The company’s end-to-end solution, helping justice systems worldwide reduce recidivism and improve offender rehabilitation, uses GPS tracking, communication, monitoring technologies, and real-time tracking and reporting to provide the best EM services.
PureProtect’s goal-driven design approach focuses on reducing domestic violence, supporting house arrest orders, and generally observing the movements of individuals involved in sensitive situations.
When the Queensland, Australia, state police recently reported it had received information from a media outlet that a “data system breach” had caused domestic violence victims’ addresses to be published to their accused offenders, the police service struggled to come up with a solution and advised at least one victim to move to a new home, according to The Associated Press (https://nnw.fm/29vAF).
At least five victims in hiding were harassed by phone or email, and the police service’s records management system recorded the victims’ addresses as the place where the offenses took place, which were then included on published court paperwork (https://nnw.fm/qRj7x). While the police service ultimately set up CCTV government cameras at the victims’ homes as a means of security, the incidents serve as an example of how judicial systems could make better use of technology such as that offered by SuperCom to protect vulnerable individuals.
“Our GPS technology and 24/7 monitoring center services are perfectly aligned to meet the needs of their clients and operations, providing robust and reliable solutions to support their mission,” SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi stated in an Aug. 29 news release (https://nnw.fm/biXtX).
SuperCom’s flagship platform works in near real-time to transmit information on a monitored subject’s whereabouts, not only on a geographical footprint but also with elevation data, for more effective use in the 3-D landscape inhabited by apartment dwellers and office workers. The system also notifies victims via cell phone if an offender’s location is proximal to their location.
Another virtue of SuperCom’s technology is its streamlined presence, allowing offenders to wear it more discretely than traditional bulky ankle monitors, thus avoiding the social stigma that may accompany the more obvious presence of monitoring technology. In addition, the use of cell phone technology to quickly notify victims of offenders’ whereabouts serves as a simple and readily adaptable method.
The technology is a win-win for criminal justice systems, providing a valuable measure of public safety while also making it possible for qualifying offenders to avoid incarceration. That helps jail services reduce expenses and avoid overcrowding while also helping the offender to function gainfully in the community through employment and safe interactions.
