Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced today that California has now fitted each of the state's 6,622 paroled sex offenders wtih an ankle bracelet that transmits their location via GPS.
The ankle GPS units were mandated by Jessica's Law, a 2006 ballot measure the governor supported. Schwarzenegger's office said Monday the ankle fittings were completed six months ahead of schedule.
"Having a GPS device on every sex offender parolee in California is an important public safety tool that will hold these individuals accountable for their actions and whereabouts," Schwarzenegger said in a statement. "Protecting our children and families from sexual predators is a priority, and with a GPS device on every sex offender on parole and parole agents monitoring these offenders aggressively, we will make our communities safer."
