Missoula-based AquilaVision's "OTTER" Offender-tracking system funded in Montana
| February 14, 2008 |  View for printing |
A 2008 Congressional spending bill will send over $650,000 to Montana to help reduce the number of non-violent offenders housed in public detention facilities by spurring development of improved offender-tracking technology that monitors would-be prisoners while they roam at large.
A good part of the federal money will go to the Montana Offender Notification and Tracking System project, or MONTS. Bringing together Missoula-based AquilaVision http://www.aquilavision.com/ , the Montana Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association http://www.mspoa.org/ and a group called MonTEC, the program will add refinements to an offender tracking system called OTTER, originally developed by AquilaVision http://www.aquilavision.com/ . The OTTER system uses satellite signals to track offenders and vehicles through a real-time, internet-accessible mapping format.
