Hooked Up For Less Than 30 Days, Offender Now Back in Custody
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iSECUREtrac(TM) Corp.
(OTC:ISEC) (BULLETIN BOARD: ISEC) , an industry leader in
electronic monitoring solutions, played a pivotal role in the quick
apprehension of a monitored sex offender who allegedly abducted a
young girl from her residence. The long term effect of electronic
monitoring on individual rehabilitation and recidivism rates may be
open to debate. But, in terms of better protecting the public,
there is no debate. The public is safer when a released offender is
under community supervision supplemented with electronic monitoring
than with community supervision alone. Although the examples are
numerous, one recent incident involving the alleged abduction of a
young girl will illustrate the point. In August 2007, a sex
offender in a Southeastern state was released from prison. He was
placed under mandatory community supervision supplemented with
iSECUREtrac's active GPS monitoring system which provides location
data and notification of compliance violations in near real-time.
Later in the month following his release, this offender allegedly
abducted a young girl from her residence. The iSECUREtrac
monitoring center received a call from the offender's probation
officer requesting assistance with locating the offender. Using
iSECUREtrac's proprietary tracking software, a monitoring center
representative lead the probation officer, a detective and 15
patrol cars to an area where they apprehended the offender. The
victim, who was not harmed during the incident, was recovered by
the team of officers. The offender was taken into custody and
charges are pending. One officer stated that, "the iSECUREtrac
monitoring center was a big help in catching this guy." Nationally,
the statistics on child abductions are appalling. According to the
US Department of Justice, nearly 800,000 children are reported
missing every year. "One of the very best things about our industry
is that we can help prevent bad things happening to innocent
children," said Peter Michel, president and CEO of iSECUREtrac
Corp. "It was the quick response by the supervising officer coupled
with iSECUREtrac's real-time monitoring that may have prevented a
serious crime from turning into a heartbreaking tragedy for this
young girl. We're proud to have played a role." About iSECUREtrac
