roboCUFF supports a wide range of applications, making Electronic Supervision a practical consideration for more defendants, clients, offenders, and parolees than you may have previously thought possible.

Over 250 Justice and Public Safety agencies in more than 30 U.S. states and territories use roboCUFF as part of their Evidence Based Practices or Detention Alternatives to effectively supervise clients in pretrial, probation, parole, truancy, and drug court programs.

roboCUFF Voice Supervision Services facilitate efficient, effective supervision with:

· Confirmed client identity via biometric speaker verification (99% accuracy).

· Automatic documentation of check-ins and recorded verbal explanations for exceptions.

· Graduated Sanctions/Progressive Response dynamically aligns intensity to client risk/needs.

· Daily/weekly summary reports and prioritized exception alerts for timely officer attention.

· Web-based tool optimized for efficient supervision of large caseloads of lower risk clients.

· Closed-loop exception resolution promotes timely officer response to each exception.

roboCUFF Voice Self Reporting (vSR) performs regular check-ins and automated interviews for lower-risk clients with minimal cost or officer effort, reliably maintaining contact with each client according to applicable standards. Using any telephone as a “virtual kiosk”, roboCUFF vSR streamlines supervision of low risk clients with:

· Periodic check-ins & interviews (daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly).

· Customized protocols for interview questions, schedules, reminders and grace periods.

roboCUFF Voice Curfew Monitoring (vCM) performs random check-ins to verify that higher-risk clients are at home, work, school, or other locations during designated periods as required, supporting detention alternative programs and intermediate responses/sanctions with:

· Custom schedules for each client’s curfew/home detention periods & authorized activities.

· Automatic scheduling of random check-in times, frequency, and spacing between calls.

· Optional wakeup calls and check-ins at work, school, or other activities outside the home.

Whether a defendant must be supervised for days, weeks, or months while awaiting trial, roboCUFF offers simple, reliable, effective, and economical methods to assist in verifying that they are complying with pretrial release requirements. The low cost and low officer workload for roboCUFF Self Reporting allow effective and appropriate supervision of defendants at all risk levels, automating routine telephone check-ins on agency-defined schedules, collecting defendant responses to agency-defined interview questions, and alerting pretrial officers of prioritized exceptions. If needed for higher risk defendants, roboCUFF Voice Monitoring can directly monitor compliance with requirements to be at home, work, school, or other locations on a defined schedule.

In an era of increasing caseloads and tight budgets, roboCUFF is a simple, reliable, effective, and economical method to assist Probation Officers in supervising high, medium, and low risk offenders. Of particular interest to many agencies is its convenience and value for remote “virtual kiosk” check-ins for lower risk clients, curfew/house arrest monitoring for higher risk offenders, and step-up sanctions for technical violators – providing meaningful intermediate sanctions as an alternative to incarceration. Traditional electronic monitoring systems can be cumbersome to install and manage, prone to false alerts, and cost-prohibitive. roboCUFF streamlines officer workload with timely alerts and convenient reporting, at a very low cost.

roboCUFF Self Reporting offers compelling opportunities to implement Evidence Based Practices in minimizing agency resources allocated to supervising lower risk offenders, while still assuring appropriate supervision of those lower risk offenders consistent with agency standards. This frees up agency resources that can be reallocated to supervision of higher risk offenders.

To support the transition and re-integration of parolees into the community, roboCUFF is a simple, reliable, effective, and economical method to assist Parole Officers in monitoring compliance with parole requirements. roboCUFF also offers a practical alternative to secure detention as applicable for early release programs. You choice no longer must be “Which parolees can we afford to monitor?”. The low cost and officer workload of roboCUFF allows you to monitor 10 to 100 times as traditional equipment based monitoring programs.

For juvenile programs that prefer to avoid the stigma of requiring clients to wear monitoring devices, roboCUFF is a simple, reliable, effective, and economical method to assist Juvenile Probation Officers and Case Workers in supervising clients. Additionally, roboCUFF interacts with clients in ways that are designed to support rehabilitative and restorative programs, creating opportunities for regular success while also holding clients accountable if they fail to comply.

Drug courts, DUI courts, and other problem solving courts are unique in their design, seeking to avoid harsher consequences for responsive, compliant participants. roboCUFF is useful to problem solving courts in the early phases of each case in establishing a baseline of compliance with each client. roboCUFF is also useful in subsequent phases by assisting clients in demonstrating accountability.
