GPS — Save Children — Save Money
Just how much better can a headline get, hmm? We talk all the time about the benefits of GPS tracking here are the GPS ROI blog, but still, I know, a huge percentage of the readers are "turning off" by using that old "We have no money" line.

Perhaps the reason no one ever challenges me on my cost benefit analyses is that I am right?

Mallett has previously been convicted twice of third-degree sexual assault against 14 and 16-year-old females in both Dunn and Eau Claire Counties; once in 1998 and again in 2003.
In 2006, Mallett was released in Eau Claire after serving a prison sentence stemming from a sexual assault conviction, but was later arrested for violating rules of his probation. He was released in Eau Claire again July 22, but was taken into custody four days later … read more about how GPS tracking can manage criminals and save lives and money
How does your city, county, state handle the monitoring and supervision of low-lives like the one in the picture (he’s already convicted several times of child abuse … I don’t have to be a mealy-mouthed newscaster and say "alleged" low life, Mr. Mallett has already proven that he is one.
