Principles of Location Monitoring Principles of Location Monitoring ProgramProgram
• Manage or mitigate offender risks such as the risk an offender poses to a specific person or the community
• Technology provides capability to enforce and monitor offender’s compliance with one or more condition of supervision

Principles of Location Monitoring Principles of Location Monitoring Program (cont.) Program (cont.)
• Verify approved offender locations at home or in the community; and/or provide information about the offender’s movement in the community
• Determine offender movement into prohibited areas
• Location monitoring mitigates risk by establishing 24/7 accountability

Role of Office of Probation and Role of Office of Probation and Pretrial Services (OPPS) Pretrial Services (OPPS)
• Develop national location monitoring policy (Monograph 113 – The Federal Location Monitoring Program for Defendants and Offenders)
• Program management and oversight

How is Location Monitoring How is Location Monitoring Technology Utilized?Technology Utilized?
• Type of technology recommended and/or selected on a case by case basis
• Type of technology selected based on sentence and identified risk factors
• Type of technology may change during course of supervision from least to more restrictive or vice versa depending on offender’s supervision adjustment

Voice Verification Systems Voice Verification Systems
• Automated systems place and/or receive calls to verify offender’s presence
• Cost – approximately $1.88 per day
• No traditional electronic monitoring equipment required
![Page 10: Location Monitoring Program in the Federal Courts.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514371d550346d8488b627e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Voice VerificationVoice Verification
• Targets lower risk offenders by establishing random call-in times to verify presence in home
• Not continuous monitoring
• Primarily utilized for curfew monitoring
• Average cost – $1.65 per day
![Page 11: Location Monitoring Program in the Federal Courts.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514371d550346d8488b627e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Radio Frequency (RF)Radio Frequency (RF)
• Presence verified at authorized location (home) utilizing transmitter and receiver; monitored via land line
• Only monitors offender when in home (e.g. Martha Stewart)
• Approximately 5,500 defendants/offenders monitored via RF technology
![Page 12: Location Monitoring Program in the Federal Courts.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514371d550346d8488b627e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Radio Frequency TechnologyRadio Frequency Technology
• Ideal for continuous curfew monitoring in the home
• Cost-effective technology for monitoring offenders on “lock-down” status in home
• Average cost - $3.50 per day
![Page 13: Location Monitoring Program in the Federal Courts.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514371d550346d8488b627e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Global Positioning Systems (GPS)Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
• Records offender’s location from the time he/she leaves residence until return home
• Active GPS – continuous monitoring in “real-time”
• Passive GPS – Tracking / location information downloaded upon offender’s return home; not “real-time”
![Page 14: Location Monitoring Program in the Federal Courts.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514371d550346d8488b627e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
GPS GPS • Ideal for monitoring offender with condition
that includes prohibited area in community (e.g. schools, victims, etc.)
• Ideal for monitoring offender who is required to be at specific location in community (e.g. place of employment, drug treatment, etc.)
• Can be used as supervision tool to look at “tracks” of movement to determine location patterns
![Page 15: Location Monitoring Program in the Federal Courts.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514371d550346d8488b627e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
GPS GPS
• Approximately 400 defendants/offenders being monitored via GPS technology in Federal Courts
• Labor-intensive technology requiring considerable manpower – probation officer resources
• Average cost - $6-9 per day
![Page 16: Location Monitoring Program in the Federal Courts.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514371d550346d8488b627e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Alert Notification System Alert Notification System
• Alerts are generated directly to probation officer in various ways
• Alerts received via email notification, voice via cell phone and/or text or any combination
![Page 17: Location Monitoring Program in the Federal Courts.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514371d550346d8488b627e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Types of AlertsTypes of AlertsPotential ViolationsPotential Violations
• Unauthorized Leave
• Failure to Return
• Equipment Tamper
• Unit Failed to Report
• Exclusion Zone Violation
• Inclusion Zone Violation
• Bracelet Gone / Transmitter Out of Range
![Page 18: Location Monitoring Program in the Federal Courts.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514371d550346d8488b627e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Alert Response Protocol Alert Response Protocol
• All “key” alerts must be investigated and responded to on a 24/7 basis
• Majority of alerts are innocuous and not indicative of a violation (e.g. no GPS signal, land-line out of service, etc.)
![Page 19: Location Monitoring Program in the Federal Courts.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514371d550346d8488b627e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Location Monitoring Location Monitoring ViolationsViolations
• Violations must be based on officer’s independent investigation and not solely based on information (alert) generated by location monitoring technology
![Page 20: Location Monitoring Program in the Federal Courts.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5514371d550346d8488b627e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Location Monitoring Technology as Location Monitoring Technology as an Alternative to Incarcerationan Alternative to Incarceration
• Technology provides officer with ability to mitigate risks that offenders pose in the community that could not otherwise be addressed
• Technology provides ability to enforce an offender’s structured schedule that can fulfill sentencing objectives
• Provides ability to verify offender location and add layer of structure to offender’s activities

Future Location Monitoring Future Location Monitoring TechnologyTechnology
• Real-time Transdermal Alcohol Testing – via Active GPS Tracking
• One-piece “Hybrid” Tracking – combines all technologies into one tracking unit (RF, GPS, etc.)
• AFLT Technology – Advanced Forward Link Trilateration
• Television Tracking Technology
