When supervising agencies use GPS technology to monitor the movements of high-risk offenders in the community, it provides supervising agents/officers with an extra set of eyes to help ensure compliance and increase the level of community safety.
High-risk offenders, such as gang members, sex offenders and habitual offenders, are usually considered candidates for active GPS monitoring, which provides near real-time data on their movements. If they enter a prohibited geographic area or are late entering a requisite geographic area or leave it early, the supervising agent/officer receives immediately notification about the violation and can quickly take appropriate action.
As a one-piece GPS monitoring device, BluTag quickly and easily attaches around the offender’s ankle and remains there for the term of supervision. BluTag transmits monitoring data at least once every 10 minutes when offenders are compliant with the terms of their supervision and immediately whenever an infraction occurs.
BluTag monitors the movements of more high-risk offenders in the nation than any other one-piece GPS monitoring device.
