If a comparison of BluTag and Stalker Alert points determines that the enrollee is inside any of the three zones, VeriTracks immediately records the event. • VeriTracks sends immediate notifications to the supervising agency as well as the victim. • For added safety, Stalker alert detects the rf signal emitted by the enrollee’s BluTag.

Stalker Alert® and VeriTracks® Training, Page 26 Supervision – Program Level Best Practices • Clearly defined roles and responsibilities for managers and agents/officers. • Clear and inviolable procedures for responding to every VeriTracks event. • Explicit and enforced sanctions for antagonist violations. • Escalation plans for agent/officer notification. • Realistic expectations for protecting the victim. An antagonist living two blocks from a victim is not a good fit for this program. Does antagonist regularly travel near the victim (f example, (for l pass by b th the victim’s i ti ’ h house on the th way to t work)? k)? Stalker Alert® and VeriTracks® Training, Page 27 Supervision – Supervision Routine Best Practices Daily is a minimum level. More frequently is better. • Daily review of victim charging habits • Daily review of victim tracks to provide insight to victim’s compliance (keep the tracker with them) • Daily review of victim events to monitor GPS and cell signal reception. • Daily review of enrollee charging habits • Daily review of enrollee events to monitor zone and device compliance • Daily review of enrollee events to monitor GPS and cell signal reception. • Daily review of combined victim and enrollee tracks to highlight potential stalking, etc. Stalker Alert® and VeriTracks® Training, Page 28 Supervision – Inclusion Zone layers Standard 300 or 500 foot Inclusion Zone for enrollee curfew. Additional 1 mile Inclusion Zone (24x7) to alert supervisors to enrollee’s departure. Stalker Alert® and VeriTracks® Training, Page 29 Supervision – Exclusion Zone layers Multiple Layered Exclusion Zones for victim frequent locations (home, work, school, etc) – sizes can equate with recommended proximity zone sizes Stalker Alert® and VeriTracks® Training, Page 30 Supervision – Extended Exclusion Zone layers Extended polygon Exclusion Zones to cover rapid approach corridors such as highways Stalker Alert® and VeriTracks® Training, Page 31 Supervision – Proximity y Zone Minimum Recommended sizes Minimum suggested proximity zone sizes are: Caution 16,000 ft Warning 11,000 ft Danger 6 000 ft 6,000 These are slightly greater than 1 mile increments and so represent one minute of travel at 60 mph. Note: If one of the paired devices is not calling or getting valid GPS, the events will generate based on the last valid track point for this device. For example, if the Enrollee BluTag has not called in 2 hours, and the Stalker Alert reports GPS points within proximity of the last reported position of the BluTag, the event will be generated based on the info available. Stalker Alert® and VeriTracks® Training, Page 32 Supervision – How It All Works Together When linked BluTag and Stalker Alert devices each reports its GPS, VeriTracks compares the points. – If a comparison of points determines that the enrollee falls within the parameters of a fixed proximity, both devices will increase their reporting tempo as described previously. – If a comparison of points determines that the enrollee falls within the parameters of a custom proximity proximity, VeriTracks will send an immediate notification in accordance with the setup for both the victim and the supervising agency.. Note: If one of the paired devices is not calling or getting valid GPS, the events will generate based on the last valid track point for this device. For example, if the Enrollee BluTag has not called in 2 hours, hours and the Stalker Alert reports GPS points within proximity of the last reported position of the BluTag, the event will be generated based on the info available.
