Tracking parolees using a GPS ankle tracker is very helpful to probation and parole officers. Parole officers often make home visits to check up on their clients. Giving the parolee a GPS tracking device to wear on their ankle helps officers get more frequent, real-time data even when they are not physically at the client’s house. Here are a few benefits of parolees wearing ankle trackers.
Small and Lightweight
One benefit of the ankle trackers is that they are small and lightweight. This helps the parolee to be more comfortable instead of having to drag around a big, clunky GPS tracking device. The CAT-110 only weighs 67g, and the dimensions are 61mm x 49mm x 22mm. Since the parolees have to wear this tracker all the time, it is important that it is as small and lightweight as possible.
Monitors in Real Time
Another benefit of parolees having an ankle tracker is that it gives officers real-time location data. This is very helpful when monitoring whether the parolees are where they should be and not breaking their curfew. The real-time location feature is thanks to a built-in U-blox, GPS module, GPRS module, and a low power ARM processor. While it may be necessary for parole officers to make occasional home visits, being able to monitor clients in real time is extremely helpful to check up on location when the officer is off-site.
Important Alerts
Lastly, the GPS ankle trackers give officers important alerts. The trackers will give alerts for geo-fence boundary crossings, low battery, and scheduled GPS position. There is also a built-in belt-off alarm. The geo-fence boundary alert is especially important for clients who are supposed to stay in a certain area. Boundaries can be created by the parole officer and if the client crosses those boundaries, the officer will be alerted. The low battery alert is also important so that the client understands when it is time to charge the tracker.
An ankle GPS tracking device can be used for many different types of people and pets, but it is especially helpful when dealing with parolees. The ankle tracker provides a simple way for officers to track their clients using real-time location data. The tracker also provides various alerts to deliver more data. Also, these trackers are very small and lightweight, easing the burden that the parolee may feel about having to wear the tracker all day.
