Electronic Monitoring Strategy

Details

We recognise that Electronic Monitoring (EM) is valuable tool with flexible and wide-ranging potential, and we are committed to understanding, evidencing, and unlocking the potential of new and existing EM technologies to serve and strengthen our criminal justice system.

In recent years, we have invested in and are continuing to invest in strengthening and diversifying our EM offer. We have embarked on a substantial EM Expansion Programme, confirmed significant future financial investment, and taken steps to strengthen the legislative and operational landscape. We are also preparing to procure new contracts for the delivery of our EM system to 2030.

We are publishing our EM Strategy as we deliver our Expansion Programme and formally launch our procurement process – to set out our vision and plans for a robust, innovative, and data-driven EM offer in the coming years.

We welcome engagement and collaboration with system partners, stakeholders, and suppliers as we deliver our vision for electronic monitoring and work towards our Electronic Monitoring Target Operating Model.

We have now published an update to this strategy fulfilling one of the recommendations made by the Public Accounts Committee in its September 2022 report
