The Hudson County Department of Corrections conducted a competitive procurement process and awarded a contract to BI Incorporated, the nation’s largest provider of electronic monitoring and reentry services for community corrections, for offender monitoring equipment and services. The department will use BI’s Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for monitoring juveniles released to community supervision in lieu of incarceration at the Hudson County Juvenile Detention Facility.

The county will use the following BI monitoring systems:

• BI ExacuTrack® One monitors a juvenile’s location using a portable tracking unit that relies on available GPS data and other location positioning technologies. This FCC-certified device provides accurate data about an offender’s movement and, as the name implies, is a single, ankle-mounted device.
• BI TotalAccess®, software for supervising officers to access and update offender data through a secure website.
• BI GuardCenter®, BI’s 24/7 national monitoring center, which offers technical and customer support.

BI also supplies Hudson County corrections officials with offender monitoring technology for adult probationers.
