Justice Services now offers GPS electronic monitoring services to the criminal courts, Probation Officers, and other criminal justice professionals throughout Arizona. GPS compliments our alcohol monitoring and time-in-place curfew monitoring activities that we have been providing to the courts for the past five years.
GPS monitoring allows the daily ‘mapping’ of a defendant’s activity by route, location, and with a date/time stamp on way-points for exact verification of movement over time. We can add customized inclusion and exclusion zones to a client’s schedule and set ‘alert alarms’ if any of these boundaries are violated. Justice Services’ monitoring technicians continuously monitor our caseload and are immediately alerted for violation of time-in-place activities away from their place of residence. Violations are communicated to the defendant through messaging mechanisms built-in to the monitoring device worn on the defendant’s person as well as to the referring criminal jurisdictional authority.
GPS monitoring is applicable for those defendants at risk for flight, pre-trial defendants, domestic violence offenders with orders of protection, sex offenders, and other low-to-medium risk offenders. GPS can be a valuable adjunct to Probation Officers who have increasingly large caseloads and Community Corrections professionals who may wish to selectively apply electronic supervision to certain defendants. GPS monitoring may be a particularly valuable tool for tracking the activity of youthful gang members as GPS tracking makes that individual a liability to the activities of the gang’s activity.
Justice Services, with offices through central and southern Arizona, is a value-added provider of electronic supervision technologies. We have local inventory of electronic monitoring hardware, bilingual enrollment technicians, a ‘no waiting list’ policy that provides immediate enrollment upon referral, and professional monitoring with timely and accurate reporting to referral authority. Our fees are modest and typically offender-paid, thus reducing supervision costs to the courts or probation departments.
