Do you feel overwhelmed by trying to manage a large caseload of offenders while facing reduced staffing and budgetary resources?
Record increases in the number of non-violent criminal offenders are putting a huge strain on already overcrowded jails and prisons, government agencies, taxpayers and the entire judicial system. An electronic monitoring solution may be the answer.
FocalPoint by Sierra Wireless enables you to keep a constant watchful eye on offenders, helps make communities and workplaces safer and reduces the costs associated with offender management. FocalPoint improves efficiencies in monitoring and tracking at-risk persons of interest, saving time, money and improving the service you offer. The FocalPoint solution is comprised of a secure, rugged, weatherproof ankle bracelet that is wirelessly connected to an innovative cloud-based software application. It features enhanced mapping and location data options, track paths of multiple offenders at one time, incorporated geo-fences into the tracking bracelet, and customized group zones to exclude areas like parks and schools - all accessible on any web browser using a computer or mobile device. Incarceration in a jail or prison can be expensive up to $80 per day. FocalPoint electronic monitoring costs less than 1/10 of that and requires only one officer to remotely monitor dozens of offenders simultaneously. FocalPoint reduces the cost of knowing their whereabouts and eases the manpower required to track them all.
FocalPoint has been successfully used for over a decade by hundreds of organizations nationwide to monitor parolees, domestic abuse offenders, sex offenders, juveniles and those under house arrest. Using FocalPoint to monitor their offenders several law enforcement agencies consistently showed a 3-5% recidivism rate for their participants as compared to the 67% national average.
Don't rely on outdated and inefficient methods to track offenders. It's time for an affordable electronic monitoring solution that can improve the services you provide to the community and enhance their safety. Contact Sierra Wireless to learn more about FocalPoint today.
