Sex Offender Tracking

Let’s talk frankly about sexual offense prevention tactics – both traditional and new.

First, incarceration. Without a doubt, it’s the most foolproof method. Unfortunately, that guarantee lasts only as long as the offender’s sentence – which averages about seven years. And typically, only half of that time is actually served.

Second, offender counseling and therapy programs. There’s certainly an enormous amount of pressure to keep these programs active. Yet the limited data available indicates the rate of recidivism among treated versus untreated offenders is almost negligible.

Then there is legislation that requires convicted sex offenders to register as such wherever they live. Or forbids them from living within certain distance of schools, parks, and daycare centers. Of course, the challenge of how to enforce these laws still remains.

So, what really works to protect the public from sexual predators?

Law enforcement and victim advocacy groups alike will tell you: having the ability to monitor offenders throughout the day, in real time. To track them in their vehicles. At work. Inside buildings. Even inside subways. In other words, round the clock visibility into offender whereabouts no matter where they are.

The Electronic Monitoring Solution that stakes out offenders 24 hours a day.

Currently, almost 25% of convicted sexual offenders can’t be accounted for. They’ve literally vanished into society. But with Omnilink’s sex offender monitoring solution, now law enforcement can keep a vigilant tab on offenders from the moment they step out of jail.

Pairing a revolutionary single-piece monitoring device with Omnilink's FocalPoint™ web-based software, Omnilink’s solution uses dual cellular and GPS technology to track indoors, where GPS alone can’t.

First, officers fit offenders with our unique single-unit monitoring device. Unlike other monitoring devices, only Omnilink’s is:

• 100% waterproof GPS ankle bracelet
• A true one-piece design that eliminates the risk of lost or broken parts - no need for additional handheld GPS unit, phone line, belt clips, battery packs or car chargers
• Equipped with cellular tracking technology that kicks in when GPS signals fade out
• Powered with the industry’s longest battery life

Then, offender location and schedule profiles are set up within FocalPoint, indicating when offenders need to be within certain zones (such as home or work) and which zones offenders must avoid (such as schools or parks).  Officers are alerted when offenders are not where they should be or if they get too close to a forbidden zone.

• Constant visibility into offender whereabouts – High intensity monitoring
• Enforces court sentencing and orders – Sexual offenders may think twice about preying on potential victims when they know they’re being watched
• Successfully manages larger caseloads – Technology allows officers to monitor more offenders and their whereabouts
• Use for forensic purposes – Provides sex offender tracking records for various offenders that law enforcement can examine when looking for suspects to a crime
• Subsequent monitoring changes don’t require interaction with offender – All changes are made right within FocalPoint

Now law enforcement can do what was previously impossible: keep constant track of sex offenders' whereabouts at any moment of the day, at any location.
