Domestic Violence Case Highlights Importance of Su
Post# of 159
- Israel-based SuperCom is promoting public safety founded on the strength of its superior electronic monitoring (“EM”) technology platform
- SuperCom’s PureSecurity platform uses GPS to track the movements of individuals monitored by law enforcement on pretrial and probationary release from jail custody, including a 3-D elevation blueprint that is useful to apartment dwellers and office workers
- The importance of GPS-enabled tracking was highlighted in a recent New York State domestic violence case that reportedly led to a woman’s death when her accused attacker was freed from GPS monitoring
- The PureSecurity platform not only alerts supervising law enforcement about an EM-monitored individuals’ movements, but also provides alerts via cell phone to potential victims to help them seek safety in a timely manner
Behind the crime statistics related to domestic violence, and efforts to provide a supportive society to its victims, are personal stories of fear and loss, as exhibited by the son of a domestic violence victim who told the judge during a court hearing for the suspect that “I’d rather have my mom back more than anything — that’s all that really matters more than anything.”
Less than a week before his mother’s death, the suspect, who had previously been accused of assaulting her, was released from electronic monitoring after a judge noted that the ankle monitor in use did not include GPS tracking, despite the court having access to GPS-enabled devices (https://nnw.fm/bPAiQ ).
The judge’s decision came amid discussion over the suspect’s failure to remain confined at home while wearing the ankle monitor, recognition that the suspect was not required by the court to remain confined at home, and acknowledgment that the ankle monitor was not fulfilling its purpose if it failed to track the suspect’s movements while he was away from home (https://nnw.fm/HU4Se ).
The incident has drawn attention to the court’s ruling and the rules governing GPS monitoring within the New York district, but also highlights the importance of modern technology in granting law enforcement authorities the ability to effectively supervise suspects in pretrial conditions as well as the ability to provide potential victims with effective security.
Electronic monitoring (“EM”) technology innovator SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) is building a strong reputation for outfitting law enforcement agencies and other governmental clientele with the superior technological capacity they need to monitor the movements of individuals under their authority and to provide preventive measures to potential victims, particularly in domestic violence cases.
SuperCom’s PureSecurity platform uses GPS to transmit real-time information on a monitored subject’s whereabouts. The company’s platform then notifies victims by a cell phone alert if concerns over an offender’s location arise.
“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 August (https://nnw.fm/s9k65 ).
SuperCom has secured several new contracts in recent months to provide monitoring for domestic violence suspects and subjects to be monitored while free from custody in other types of criminal cases throughout Europe and the United States. The average daily caseload for agencies monitoring individuals via EM in the geopolitical regions ranges from the tens of thousands (Europe) to the hundreds of thousands (North America) (https://nnw.fm/p9and ).
