Richmond, CA – In efforts to gain control over the ongoing crime and violence in Richmond, police began using GPS ankle bracelets on all parolees who are known gang members on Monday, May 3, 2010, as reported by www.ktvu.com.

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) fitted 17 parolees with GPS tracking devices. State parole agents are expected to fit three more convicted gang members with the monitors during the upcoming week, bringing the total to 20 parolees.
