BLUTAG®

VeriTracks™ is an innovative public safety tool developed by General Dynamics

Advanced Information Systems and offered exclusively by Satellite Tracking of

People (STOP) LLC. VeriTracks™ employs a combination of data integration, geo-

mapping, and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) technology to effectively remove

the “anonymity” of non-incarcerated offenders under the supervision of local, state or

federal criminal justice agencies. VeriTracks™ is applicable for arrestees on pre-trial

release; convicted offenders on probation and other forms of community control; and

parolees. The system uses GPS technology to constantly track the precise location of

offenders and link that data to the location and time of reported crime incidents. The

system also electronically monitors certain “exclusion” and “inclusion” zones for

violations. Any intersection of a tracked offender with a crime incident or zone

violation is known as a “hit” and is electronically sent to the appropriate police and

corrections agencies for action.

1. The supervised offender wears a BluTag® on his/her leg. The “tag”

determines and records the offender location.
