FLORIDA - Department of Corrections officials are now using laptops to track sex offenders out on probation, a system officials hope will be more efficient. Previously, offenders being monitored with GPS devices had their locations pinpointed several times a day, but corrections officials couldn't view that data outside of their offices. Using laptops, they're able to find a sex offender in the field as well as immediately file reports on other probationers. Officials hope that makes the department more efficient in keeping data on the 194,000 people on probation in Florida - about twice the population in the state's prisons. About 6,000 of those people are sex offenders. |
