- The small Mediterranean island nation of Malta is in the process of joining other governments in launching an electronic monitoring (“EM”) solution for supervising parolees and suspects subject to restraining orders to ensure public safety
- EM offender tracking, when technically advanced and properly applied, is now regarded as an important low-cost alternative to expensive incarceration by many criminal justice systems, with growing use worldwide
- Israel-based SuperCom is an electronic monitoring technology developer working with an increasing number of criminal justice systems to deploy its PureSecurity Suite advanced EM solutions as a means of protecting society and potential victims, such as those subject to threats from domestic violence
- SuperCom’s competitive platform also has the potential to fulfill a rehabilitative purpose by reducing criminal recidivism and helping supervised individuals to return productively to work, school or family interaction
GPS tracking technology developer SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) is helping improve public safety by building and deploying an electronic platform and monitoring service for criminal justice agencies that helps ensure that qualifying offenders and supervised suspects remain under monitored activity without the heavy expense of incarceration.
SuperCom’s GPS and RFID-enabled electronic monitoring (“EM”) devices represent significant improvements over legacy solutions used by many judicial systems and can provide superior remote supervision of enrolled individuals under house arrest or limited movement. They can monitor not only their physical location on a map grid but also their elevation within a building at a particular grid point.
The SuperCom “PureOne” bracelet solution is waterproof and has a battery life of up to one year, unlike other companies’ products that require daily recharging to remain functional. Its sleek design as part of SuperCom’s PureSecurity suite is a major improvement over bulky ankle monitors worn in other programs, allowing monitored individuals to better function at work or school.
The expanding use of EM tracking worldwide is creating a growing market for SuperCom’s technology. The small Mediterranean island nation of Malta (population of half a million people) is one of the latest governments investigating EM — parliamentary action this month has been advancing a bill years in the making, incorporating recommendations from a public review process as the legislation nears the finish line (https://nnw.fm/LWdm1).
Proponents of Malta’s legislation have celebrated its potential for protecting victims of crimes — 250,000 reported during the 17 years since such technology was first considered (https://nnw.fm/CB5VO). Recent changes to the bill have provided extra measures to prevent further harm to potential victims, such as in domestic violence or other restraining order situations, by allowing victimized individuals to choose monitoring or an alert system for their personal safety (https://nnw.fm/MLmKH).
SuperCom’s tech platform provides victim notification alerts through smartphone interactivity, helping individuals to take action to protect themselves from an offender who may be breaching boundaries while also notifying law enforcement authorities about the concern.
“Our solutions create positive social impact and improve public safety worldwide. That is a fact,” SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi said during a presentation of his company’s achievements last October at the LD Micro 17th Annual invitational micro-cap conference (https://nnw.fm/e6fc9).
As the company continues to add new contracts to its existing client list, with a focus on domestic violence monitoring and prevention, Trabelsi noted in his report on the Q3 financial statement that SuperCom’s gross profit margin has grown to 50.1% over the same period in the prior year. The company’s EBITDA grew from $3.7 million to $4.6 million YOY in the first 9 months of the year (https://nnw.fm/EWAgZ).
“Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing our strategy by delivering cutting-edge solutions, deepening relationships with existing clients, and entering new markets,” Trabelsi stated.
