Omnilink Systems Offers Relief to Clark County Courts Home Incarceration Office

Advanced Offender Monitoring Solution Provides Real-Time Surveillance of Offenders Beyond Traditional GPS Tracking

ATLANTA (December 3, 2007) – After years of dealing with faulty GPS offender tracking devices, the Clark County Courts Home Incarceration Office was on the verge of giving up on the technology, until they were introduced to Omnilink Systems' offender monitoring solution. A leader in location-based services (LBS) technology, Omnilink provides LBS solutions that go beyond the traditional GPS-based offerings to provide the real-time location of people and valuable assets, even where GPS solutions do not work. 

Disappointed with false readings and inadequate location information, the Clark County Courts Home Incarceration Office had reviewed nearly every Radio Frequency (RF) and GPS tracking device available on the market. "Omnilink is the only device that provides 24/7 real-time surveillance regardless of an offender's location," says Bill Delehanty, director of Clark County Courts Home Incarceration Office. "Omnilink's tracking system is heads above anything else that's out there."

The Home Incarceration Office currently monitors more than 30 offenders with Omnilink's technology across Clark County, Indiana, and the solution has saved Delehanty an incredible amount of time. "With previous tracking devices I would have to spend hours every morning, seven days a week, checking up on all of our offenders' past and present locations.  Since implementing Omnilink's advanced solution, I receive immediate alerts informing me when offenders go anywhere they are not supposed to be."

The accuracy and reliability of Omnilink's offender monitoring solution has given the Home Incarceration Office the confidence to expand its house arrest program in several ways.  Because Omnilink's one-piece ankle bracelet can track offenders anywhere, indoors or outdoors, Delehanty has given certain offenders the opportunity to work out-of-state if necessary to support their families, as he can confirm at any time that they are actually at their work locations. Further, the county has begun to put Omnilink's device on anyone who violates probation, as these offenders are automatically sentenced to 90 days of home incarceration.

"Our offender monitoring solutions were created to provide law enforcement officials convenient and reliable tracking of offenders," says Curtis Rapp, vice president of judicial sales for Omnilink Systems. "We're thrilled with the success that Clark County Courts Home Incarceration Office is having with our solution."
