Electronic Monitoring

ELECTRONIC MONITORING

 

FOUR LEVELS OF MONITORING

 

  1. Radio Frequency Monitoring

A. ONLY allows monitoring of when client leaves residence and when client returns to residence. (NO Tracking Device is utilized)

  1. Level 1 (Passive)

A. Allows monitoring outside of home base, however NO contact with client and  you will only know where he has traveled during the day, when information is downloaded into the home base.

  1. Level 2 (Active) ***WHEN USING GPS, THIS IS THE ONE MOST OFTEN USED***        
    1. Allows monitoring by tracking client’s whereabouts as he travels via computer mapping.
    2. Subject carries cell phone, 2-way communicator that enables him to call one specified number in emergencies and the tracking agency can call him at any given time. (Very effective monitoring)
  2. Level 3 (Active with “Hot Zones)
    1. Allows monitoring by tracking client’s whereabouts as he travels via computer mapping.
    2. Subject carries cell phone, 2-way communicator that enables him to call one specified number in emergencies and the tracking agency can call him at any given time.
    3. Allows tracking agency to program exclusionary or “Hot Zones” whereby the agency is notified if the client goes within a designated, prohibited area.

BREATHALYSER (Alcohol) TESTING EQUIPMENT: the current monitoring w/ alcohol testing could remain in place at a total cost of $9.00 per day. This would also involve the current at-home monitoring device that signals the exit and return of a client to his residence. If the court wanted a defendant to be monitored by GPS and for alcohol, the breath testing cost would be in ADDITION to the GPS.

 

FUTURE BREATH TESTING:

 

Sentinel is currently working on a breath testing device (Visual) that would be compatible

with the new GPS systems and would be offered at $3.25 per day. This would replace the

$9.00 total monitoring package currently in place.
