Electronic Monitoring: The Ultimate Tool For Reducing Crime

The technology is available today to directly monitor the location of recidivist criminals who are released and respond immediately to any forbidden behaviors. Electronic monitoring of these individuals can not only deter future criminal behavior, but automatically solve cases by placing offenders in proximity to crime scenes.

Electronic offender monitoring is one of the most powerful tools available to law enforcement for reducing crime rates and increasing case clearance rates.

Crime Reduction

SecureAlert monitoring reduces crime in communities by focusing intensive supervision resources on the population subset that is most likely to commit crimes: repeat criminal offenders.

It is well-known that 80% of criminal offenders, when released back into society, commit another crime within 2 years. SecureAlert’s experience has been that, while monitored via GPS, offenders violate their probation terms in only 20% of cases. And in virtually 100% of those cases, the violating offenders are immediately caught and reincarcerated. While no solution is foolproof, SecureAlert monitoring breaks the recidivism cycle

Rollup Operations

SecureAlert monitoring can be used to execute “rollup” operations where an entire gang or other criminal enterprise can be identified and broken up all at once.

Known gang members can be fitted with ReliAlert™ GPS tracking devices and released. These persons will often fall back into their old ways and “hang out” with their former associates.

 
Crime Scene Correlation

Using SecureAlert’s crime scene correlation capabilities, the time and place of a crime can be submitted to the system. Any offenders whose GPS tracking indicates that they were in the vicinity of the crime at the time are returned, providing an instant list of suspects and witnesses that can be immediately found and interrogated. This capability can greatly increase police case clearance rates.
