Public Safety committee  That's the beauty of it. If you remember what I said about being a solution-based company...of course, if we were the vendor that was selected for this type of thing, we would go and sit down and analyze. No, that's not to say that a probation officer would not be notified or a

Public Safety committee  That's active. That was a solution, of course, designed for high-risk offenders. Again, that's the maximum amount of GPS points. It's basically as much as what a Cadillac can do. It was $22 a day. I did mention other programs before, such as our Fusion platform, which I wish I

Public Safety committee  The nice thing is that as long as the offender is abiding by his schedule, nothing is ever going to happen. Nobody is going to ever bug him. For instance, let's say he does not. The device starts to actually vibrate on his ankle when it reaches 50%. Of course, the monitoring cen

Public Safety committee  That's a good point. You're looking at an emergency 911 response department that handled over 800,000 calls last year. Right now, at the level we're at, we're able to deal with pilot projects. However, our strategic partner is willing to advance this technology. He wants to grow

Public Safety committee  You're correct, very much so. As for manufacturers, there are none, to be honest with you. Normally things were sourced out of country and brought into Canada. What I can tell you is that SafeTracks is the only company that does, as I said, have the monitoring centre, the softwar

Public Safety committee  Not necessarily, no. That's not what I want to put across. However, as—

Public Safety committee  I'm going to use North America, if that's okay, because that's traditionally where the technology comes from. There are probably, I would say, six powerhouses out there, and up to about 10 to 12 are starting to get into it. Again, it would all depend on what you were looking for

Robert Aloisio

Public Safety committee  Yes, that as well as having the servers on Canadian soil, the airtime—it's just that everything is done in Canada as much as possible. That's what I mean by our competitive advantage at SafeTracks.

Robert Aloisio

Public Safety committee  Actually, no, that's quite interesting. We have two separate divisions at SafeTracks. We have what I like to call court-ordered offender monitoring, which is the ankle bracelets, and then we also specialize in personal safety tracking devices. Not to get off the court, but we've

Robert Aloisio

Public Safety committee  That's a good question, and I'd like to address that as well. Just so everybody is aware, this uses GPS, which is a global positioning system, and it uses a cellular network to transfer the information, just like your cellphone. The device will literally send off an alarm to ou

Public Safety committee  I kind of thought this would come up, so I brought one of our chargers. I'm going to hold this up and briefly show you what the offender has to do. This device is really unique. We usually recommend that the offender charge it for 90 minutes a day. If it is charged for 90 minut
