EM Tracking Technology in Juvenile Justice Highlig
Post# of 159
- As technological devices used to track criminal suspects and low-risk offenders gain popular usage by law enforcement entities worldwide, the market potential continues to grow
- An ongoing effort to improve electronic monitoring systems for juvenile offenders in New Orleans highlights the potential revenues involved — the municipality is working out a $2 million plan for tracking 200 teens following the discovery of an unused budget for the effort
- Israel-based SuperCom Ltd. is a secured solutions provider for the e-Government, IoT and Cybersecurity sectors that has strategically developed its PureSecurity EM platform as a highly effective solution for the electronic monitoring market
- The company’s approach uses technology that employs RFID and GPS tracking through inconspicuous devices with the aim of helping individuals in the criminal justice system to continue to be productive in society rather than facing costly incarceration
Electronic monitoring (“EM”) technology, such as ankle monitors equipped for remote GPS tracking and car ignition devices fitted with alcohol detection capability, has become increasingly popular as a means of providing some freedom of movement to offenders in the criminal justice system while also helping to ensure public safety (https://nnw.fm/JVEOQ ).
EM devices have gained attention as a means of reducing government expenditure by preventing the need for jailing offenders deemed to be low-risk, or juveniles who may be in greater danger of future criminal behavior if they are incarcerated while young.
New Orleans’ criminal justice oversight committee recently hailed the news that funds had been found to support improvements to the municipality’s EM program for juvenile offenders after the city became mired in controversy over a violent crime allegedly committed by a monitored teenager who wasn’t being fully monitored as expected (https://nnw.fm/mgO7Z ).
Officials in the Louisiana community anticipate roughly $2 million will be dedicated to a plan to ensure the effective monitoring of about 200 juveniles (https://nnw.fm/bI3hk ).
Technology innovator SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) has been solidifying its position as a leader in the EM industry through development of its PureSecurity suite of tracking solutions. The company has steadily added new clients in Europe and the United States, where the average daily caseload of all EM-supervised individuals industry-wide ranges from the tens of thousands (Europe) to the hundreds of thousands (North America) (https://nnw.fm/EWjkQ ).
SuperCom’s end-to-end solution is an improvement on the bulky ankle bracelets, combining sleek design with innovative tracking technologies that can be worn in a covert manner as its PureOne bracelet product to help reduce the possibility that monitored individuals will be subjected to harassment or social stigma.
Similarly, individuals who are at specific risk of victimization, such as in domestic violence cases, can be alerted effectively and discretely through their smartphones if a monitored offender comes near, allowing a potential victim to seek a way to avoid trouble and alerting law enforcement authorities to the concern through the company’s PureProtect app technology.
“Our GPS technology and 24/7 monitoring center services are perfectly aligned to meet the needs of … 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 related to a new SuperCom contract in Maryland (https://nnw.fm/Nvoha ).
