iSECUREtrac to Provide First GPS Offender Monitoring Systems in Canada
iSECUREtrac Corp., an industry leader in offender monitoring solutions utilizing global positioning systems (GPS) and wireless technologies, announced today that it has signed a 3-year contract with Mammoth Communications to provide Global Positioning Satellite Electronic Offender Monitoring Services to Canada. This contract is pursuant to the award by the Nova Scotia Justice Department to Mammoth of Canada’s first major GPS offender monitoring initiative following a long period of intense competitive analysis and system testing. The contract with Mammoth includes the purchase and installation of the first ever state-of-the-art Canadian-based GPS host monitoring system capable of serving the mission critical offender monitoring requirements of every Province. The agreement calls for an initial one-time $275,000 payment to iSECUREtrac, as well as continued recurring fees for service, monitoring unit rentals, and software licensing fees. The Nova Scotia program will initially target high risk, conditional sentence offenders in Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, and Spryfield. The objectives of Community Corrections in Nova Scotia is to employ GPS electronic monitoring technology that will enhance overall public safety, increase offender accountability, and improve staff safety. “This is the first of what we anticipate to be numerous partnering relationships in the development of our international sales channel,” said Tom Wharton, CEO of iSECUREtrac Corp. “We are ecstatic to be partnering with Mammoth Communications in order to deliver localized full-service electronic monitoring support capabilities to the Canadian marketplace. Our win with the Nova Scotia Justice Department is only the tipping point for world-wide GPS offender monitoring initiatives. The installation of a turnkey, web-hosted monitoring solution in Mammoth’s world-class data center facility allows us to deliver a level of service and support to Nova Scotia and other Canadian provinces unavailable from any other electronic monitoring system supplier.” “The international markets present a fantastic opportunity for iSECUREtrac,” said David Vana, CFO of iSECUREtrac. “International correctional systems are typically far more centralized than what we have here in the United States. As a result, the average program is much larger in size and the per unit transaction cost tends to be significantly lower. Our international business model includes a dedicated local host and the requirement for substantial local support services, insuring a substantial commitment by our distribution channel partners to these programs.”
