• The Monitoring Center provides centralized monitoring services to the Division of Community Corrections, Division of Juvenile Corrections, county and local law enforcement and County Human Services Departments. These services consist of the Electronic Monitoring of offenders placed on house arrest.

• Electronic Monitoring Center offers an alternative to incarceration while maintaining the ability to monitor the offender's compliance to home arrest. The offender wears a transmitter on the ankle that sends information to a receiver, Home Monitoring Unit (HMU), installed in the home. The HMU connects to the offender's telephone line and monitors the offender's presence in their home.  The offender’s use of alcohol can also be monitored through the use of remote alcohol monitoring equipment, which when used with the Home Monitoring Unit provides a comprehensive monitoring condition.

• In addition to the conventional Radio Frequency electronic monitoring mentioned above, the Monitoring Center also provides GPS tracking services.  GPS tracking uses wireless based communications and Geo-positioning Satellites to establish the location of sex offenders wearing specialized tracking equipment.   

• The Monitoring Center functions as the point of contact for national law enforcement agencies confirming the wanted status of offenders under Department supervision and also serves as the point of contact for State law enforcement queries regarding individuals under the Department's supervision during non-business hours.
