Pro Tech Monitoring has been a leader in the Global Positioning System (GPS) offender tracking market since 1997. As Of 2005 , Pro Tech Monitoring was the only company in the world that had successfully fielded equipment to track offenders using GPS. The system was available then with no risk or developmental learning curve associated. The Pro Tech Monitoring SMART® System utilizes GPS position information from United States Department Of Defense satellites, the cellular networking system, proprietary software, the company's Customer Call Center and its Surveillance Data Center to make the SMART® System a reliable and user friendly offender tracking tool for corrections officers. Pro Tech's SMART® system provides real time tracking of offenders (active tracking), and post-process, or passive tracking capabilities. An ankle bracelet transmitter electronically tethers the offender to a Portable Tracking Device, or the Miniature Tracking Device, which communicates position and compliance information to the Surveillance Data Center over a wireless connection (active), or a standard land-line connection (passive). Corrections officers are provided with unlimited access to the stored data via a secure Internet connection or by contacting the company's 24/7 call center. Data availability is guaranteed by multiple redundant phone lines, back-up power supplies, an emergency generator and a mirrored, fully-capable back-up facility located 185 miles away from the primary facility. Tracking data less than one year old is available on-line and data older than one year is stored indefinitely and is available on an unlimited basis upon request. Pro Tech provides notification of non-compliance via pager, email and/or fax. Victims and potential victims may also be equipped with a pager to provide early warning of an offender entering a specified exclusion zone (active tracking only). To aid in assessing offender compliance trends, Pro Tech makes several violation summary reports available for on-line viewing or printing. Equipment usage reports, maintenance reports, and other summary level reports are also available. One feature of the system is the mapping capability, which is accessed via a secure Internet connection, for displaying real time position and historical tracking data. The proprietary mapping software provides the officer with a useful tool for viewing an offender's position and tracks relative to established inclusion zones and exclusion zones that have been established by the corrections officer for the offender. Compliant and non-compliant points are easily discernable with time, speed and direction information also displayed. As of 2005, the SMART® system was in use with more then 120 federal, state, county and local government agencies, including the Florida Department of Corrections, Colorado Department of Corrections, Kansas Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, U.S Pretrial and Probation agencies and numerous private agencies supporting pre- and post-adjudication offenders. Pro Tech is a Delaware Corporation founded in July, 1995. It is headquartered in Odessa, Florida , and currently employs approximately 55 people. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
