AquilaVision, Inc. and Invizeon partner with the Montana Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association on Appropriation Funded Project

The Fiscal Year 2008 Omnibus Appropriations Bill holds good news for Montanans. Among the $112 Million headed to the state, over $650,000 will be used to improve public safety, decrease the amount of non-violent offenders being housed in publicly funded jail and detention facilities, and ultimately save Montanans money.

The Montana Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association has teamed with MonTEC tenant company, AquilaVision, Inc. http://www.aquilavision.com/ to complete the MONTS (Montana Offender Notification and Tracking System) project. AquilaVision’s OTTER system will be a key element in this project. OTTER is an offender tracking system that utilizes GPS signals to track offenders, vehicles or other objects of interest. This real-time system allows for internet-accessible tracking.

The notification component of this system, CHAIN, developed by Missoula company, Invizeon, Corp. http://www.invizeon.com , has the capability to contact a variety of devices simultaneously, including cell phones, pagers, land lines and email addresses, as to the activity of the tracked offender or vehicle. Individual rules are specified for each tracking unit, alerting administrators if offenders cross into forbidden territory or vehicles leave a given route.
