In Canada, the provincial jurisdiction will buy the equipment from a private commercial agency. That's typically how it is done. They will supply the equipment. They will teach the staff, usually probation officers, how to apply it to the ankles and how to read the monitoring equipment. In certain situations, they may also provide the actual monitoring, and this may be done in the United States. The monitoring centre, the main one, may not be in Canada. It could be in the United States.
