Public Safety committee  We're not seeing electronic monitoring, per se, as an intervention or a rehabilitation program. We're seeing it as a supervision tool. How do we equip our parole officers or community supervision practitioners to monitor compliance with conditions, geographic restrictions, curfew

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  All I would respond to in terms of offender management is that consequential learning is important, and if somebody chooses not to comply with an instruction—during the pilot they were called local instructions—to wear the bracelet, and they removed it, they would face the conseq

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  Not necessarily. I haven't heard of it having been suggested. It's been envisioned or entertained or thought about as a potential to be explored in the future, but in terms of any operational consideration to do it at the moment, no. The primary focus was in the area of greatest

Public Safety committee  I don't have the full details on the only one I am somewhat aware of, but I understand the Federal Bureau of Prisons in the United States is looking into this technology, or using it and testing it as well. That's the only one I can say to the committee that I'm aware of at the m

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  Again, I think the cost savings from using EM technology have yet to be realized. That won't be realized until you go beyond one pilot in terms of a broader application of the technology to the offender population and then conduct such an examination. You had mentioned a number

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  The pilot project had a number of objectives that provided us with some important information. The primary purpose of the electronic monitoring pilot project was to test the capacity to use that technology, first and foremost. We needed to test whether or not we could have the c

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  In terms of more effective technologies for monitoring compliance to conditions while under supervision in the community, I'm not aware of any more effective or better ones. What I am aware of is that the field is evolving. There are better technologies that are looking at bett

Public Safety committee  Are you implying within correctional environments themselves, like institutions?

March 6th, 2012Committee meeting

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  That has been explored in other areas, like open settings, custodial settings. We haven't looked at that as yet. If there's a potential for it, perhaps that will be examined in future. I know technology is always looking at whether or not somebody is present where they are. Othe

March 6th, 2012Committee meeting

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  Well, it is one use, tracking movements of people, but its more important use is being able to monitor conditions. Whether there are geographic restrictions or curfew violations, that is an important byproduct, where the offender, who is under community supervision on some form o

March 6th, 2012Committee meeting

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  I'll respond to that question in two parts. First is the notion that all offenders would be required, on conditional release, to be monitored this way. I do not believe so. I think specific criteria would be established for the selection of those who would benefit from augmented

March 6th, 2012Committee meeting

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  My answer to that question is that it's always difficult to draw perfect comparisons between our jurisdiction and perhaps another jurisdiction in another country, in terms of what they're trying to achieve using various technologies. Some jurisdictions have seen its utility for

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  You've been in a unique position to hear testimony from a variety of experts and to become familiar with the state-of-the-art technology. I understand you've had suppliers come in to speak to you about where the technology is today. You've had an opportunity to hear various persp

March 6th, 2012Committee meeting

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  I think that would help us. Any time we try to improve our correctional practices and we get funding, or even if we are able to apply legislative recommendations or changes to law and practice and policy, that's helpful.

March 6th, 2012Committee meeting

Dr. Larry Motiuk

Public Safety committee  I have to say that I have not been involved in the last year or so in this topic, but I understand that requests for proposals will be formulated. They're done for system improvements across a continuum of care in corrections. I would estimate that this would be under way. We hav
