CBS Pittsburg: Pilot Program Uses GPS Technology To Track Sex Offenders:<\/p>\n
More than 1,100 registered sex offenders live and work in Allegheny County and 43 of them are now wearing monitoring devices as a condition of their parole.<\/p>\n
District Attorney Stephen Zappala blames the nature of the crime for the need to better track these offenders.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause the psychology of the crime of the criminal actually is, they will re-offend and so we\u2019re looking at persons who are recidivists,\u201d Zappala said.<\/p>\n
The offenders are monitored by places like Guardian Protection Service. The system uses GPS technology.<\/p>\n
As long as the offenders stay in the inclusion area, they\u2019re OK, but if they travel into an exclusion area, police are notified immediately.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
