SayPro How electronic tracking works

Correctional authorities use ankle bracelets and other electronic tracking devices to increase compliance with the conditions of pretrial release, probation, or parole among accused and convicted offenders residing in the community. Although some electronic monitoring technology is intended to manage individuals’ behavior— automobile ignition interlock devices, for example, can prevent those convicted of driving under the influence from starting a car when intoxicated—tracking devices are used to monitor the movements or location of those being supervised. The two dominant forms of tracking devices use GPS and RF technology.

• GPS systems can continuously track offenders in real time, identifying their movements and whereabouts by transmitting location information to monitoring centers and triangulating signals from satellites and cellular towers.

1 The devices are typically ankle bracelets worn by those whose movements are restricted by court or parole board orders; however, some jurisdictions have replaced ankle bracelets with smartphones equipped with GPS tracking capabilities.2 Convicted sex offenders, for example, may be barred from schools or playgrounds, while those convicted of domestic violence crimes are commonly prohibited from approaching their victims’ homes or places of employment.3 When monitored offenders enter such exclusion zones, GPS devices alert supervising agencies, which can then take action.RF devices monitor offenders’ presence in or absence from a fixed location. They are most commonly used to supervise those on house arrest or confinement and to enforce curfews by monitoring an offender’s presence either continuously or during specified times.4 RF systems consist of battery-powered transmitters, typically worn around ankles or wrists, and home-based receivers that can verify whether offenders are within a certain distance and alert monitoring centers of violations, allowing correctional authorities to take action.Contract performance monitoring and controlOnce the contract has been awarded, the responsible procurement officer, or the requisitioner, monitors performance, collects information, and measures actual contract achievement. This is essential for effective control. The resources devoted to these tasks, and the techniques used to perform them, will depend on the nature of the contract work, the size and complexity of the contract, and the resources available.For small, simple, non-critical contracts, an occasional telephone call may be all that is needed to satisfy the responsible UN staff member that everything is proceeding according to plan. However, for large, complex contracts, the responsible UN staff member may require extensive reports, regular progress meetings, formal testing, and technical reviews and audits.In performance based contracts, performance indicators developed in the contract are used. In some cases, the proposed supplier’s quality assurance plan may be used as a basis for monitoring the supplier’s performance.Observations are made in order to collect information related to those aspects of performance that, when measured, will describe the progress of the work. The reason for observing, collecting information, and measuring progress is to have a basis for comparing actual achievement with planned achievement in order to exert control. Each party must direct its attention internally to ensure that it is fulfilling its own obligations, and externally to ensure that the other party is fulfilling its obligations.Please visit our website at www.saypro.online Email: info@saypro.online Email: info@saypro.online Call: + 27 11 071 1903 WhatsApp: + 27 84 313 7407.
