GANG MEMBERS
In major metropolitan areas, as well as smaller communities nationwide, gang activity continues to increase. Recent estimates from the U.S. Department of Justice indicate there are approximately 785,000 gang members and 26,500 gangs active in the United States. Gangs are responsible for a variety of crimes including aggravated assault, robbery, auto theft, and drug dealing and because of the high rate of recidivism among gang members; incarceration is only a temporary fix.
Law enforcement agencies have found an extremely effective tool for gang control in GPS and assisted GPS electronic monitoring solutions. Only Omnilink provides a tracking solution that leverages dual GPS and cellular tracking to provide law enforcement agencies with visibility into an offender's location.
Through the Omnilink electronic monitoring solution, agencies can help ensure that gang members stay away from areas where gangs tend to congregate. Location data captured from the device can be correlated with schedules, zones and other parameters maintained in the Omnilink FocalPoint™ application to help ensure compliance with court ordered sentences.
Authorized users can leverage the system to create mobile exclusion zones around gang members wearing the Omnilink device. If the gang member enters a specific zone or approaches an area frequented by known gang members, the system automatically alerts the appropriate monitoring officers to respond.
