New Jersey Awards to ISECURETRAC Statewide cONTRACT

iSECUREtrac will deploy its Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) monitoring systems in a pilot program conducted by the New Jersey State Parole Board to monitor sex offenders pursuant to recently passed legislation (S-1889; Public Law 2005, c.189). The State Parole Board has approximately 14,000 offenders under supervision, 2,600 of which are subject to lifetime supervision.

"We look forward to providing GPS solutions that meet the needs of the State of New Jersey," said Peter Michel, president and CEO of iSECUREtrac Corp. "Our systems provide a rich source of data and advanced functionality to assist the state in better monitoring the location and movements of these high risk offenders."

The three-year, $12 million pilot program (reference http://www.state.nj.us/cgi-bin/treas/purchase/awards.pl) is scheduled to include 210 "Tier 3" sex offenders in its initial phase of operation, with plans to expand the program to include additional sex offenders and other high risk individuals under community supervision.

The New Jersey State Parole Board will be using both active and passive monitoring. Active GPS monitoring provides location data in real time, while passive tracking provides daily location reports of the offender’s movements.

iSECUREtrac’s monitoring center will provide movement and location information to the State Parole Board, where specially trained board personnel will examine the data for any supervisory violations or other non-compliance offenses.
