Through global-positioning technology, authorities can know instantly if a parolee leaves home or enters a restricted zone, such as a school area or the neighborhood of a former victim. "You can literally track any place he goes 24 hours a day," said Keith Feilmeier, marketing manager of Advanced Business Sciences, a Nebraska company offering the technology. "We can pinpoint the location within 4 or 5 feet." Satellite tracking of felons is only the latest example of military technology being adapted to the needs of law enforcement in the post-Cold War era. In recent years, the Pentagon has opened the door for commercial access to its Navistar network, a system of 24 satellites set up in the 1970s to help guide missiles and keep track of enemy troops and equipment. Global positioning has been used for commercial purposes ranging from ship navigation and wilderness management to construction surveys. Both Advanced Business Sciences and Pro Tech Monitoring Inc. of Tampa, Fla., are marketing global positioning for use in monitoring convicted criminals who are on parole or probation. Better than anklets ABS's system is being used to track juvenile parolees in nine Iowa counties and adult parolees in Dallas. Pro Tech's equipment is being tested by the Florida Department of Corrections in two Tampa-area counties. The technology is also planned for counties in Minnesota and Pennsylvania. The companies say global positioning is a better way to monitor parolees than the use of electronic anklets, which tell the monitors only whether the subject has remained at home. ABS's system, known as ComTrak, requires the person being monitored to wear a tamper-resistent wristband and be within a few feet of a 4-pound tracking unit, which looks like a laptop computer and can be slung over the shoulder or worn like a backback or vest. The tracking unit constantly receives signals from a "triangulation" of three satellites that determine global coordinates. The unit sends the information in a wireless signal to the ComTrak communications center in Omaha, Neb., which transfers the data to the law enforcement agency through a fiber- optic line. ABS equips the law enforcement agency with a computer station and printer to go with its link to the communications center. Notification appears on the printer if any of the subjects being monitored violate geographic "hot zones" or fail to meet time constraints, like the amount of time given to go from home to school. Protection against tampering If the parolee tampers with the wristband or abandons the 4- pound unit, the computer sounds an alarm and gives the subject's last coordinates. Users of the system can check a subject's activities at any time, for example, at the end of a day or week. A complete record of the parolee's movements is archived at the ComTrak communications center. Feilmeier said the technology still had some limitations. The satellites can lose the subject in dense downtown areas and other places with large natural or man-made structures which may deflect the signal, he said. It can be particularly ineffective in metal highrise buildings. But Feilmeier said the unit reported every four seconds and tracked exactly where the subject entered or exited an obstructed area and at what time. William Lockwood, Pro Tech's vice president for sales and marketing, said global positioning could be used by law enforcement agencies to track the targets of investigations. He said a tracking unit could be *surreptitiously* positioned, for example, by attaching it to the bottom of a suspect's car or the side of a boat. He said the technology could also benefit victims, who could be added to the LIST of people automatically notified by pohone or beeper that an offender has entered a forbidden "zone."
