BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 21, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- An Orange County judge is taking a stand against gang activity. According to a recent article in the Orange County Register (http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/homepage/abox/article_1923983.php), a new preliminary injunction is set in place to restrict the activity of two rival gangs by creating zones in San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente in an attempt to prevent gang members from coming into contact with each other. The injunction states that any alleged gang members found within these zones can be arrested. This injunction reconfirms the problem of gangs throughout the country and yet the limited resources of the police officers on the street proves that combating gangs is a constant struggle for the justice system.
The solution to this struggle is Sky Detective's Gang Tracker technology. Vice President of Sales Tim Benson and CEO Jerry Thompson are former law enforcement officers who worked in the gang unit in South Los Angeles County and have experienced first-hand the frustrations that Orange County officers are currently facing.
Sky Detective's technology is designed to create zones that would prevent gang members from entering those areas designated by the injunction. Using Sky Detective's device, if any gang member tried to enter one of the designated zones, an alarm notification would be sent to the monitor immediately. Gang members can also be individually zoned from coming in contact with each other.
"From the beginning, Jerry and I have recognized the need for a solution to the plague that is gangs," said Benson. "We are honored to be in the position to provide the solution to combat gangs with this technology."
The injunction allows for gang members to be identified by gang crime convictions, clothing, and previous admittance to being involved in a gang. Sky Detective recognizes the public's concern that this injunction targets gangs in an area other people live who are not involved in gangs. Pairing Sky Detective's device with injunctions will assist law enforcement officers in combating gang crime by removing the "guesswork" of identifying gang members in the areas listed in the injunction.
"Our solution has been well received by every law enforcement agency we have presented it to and we continue to discuss this solution with other agencies across the nation," said Jerry Thompson, inventor of Sky Detective's Gang Tracker technology. "Our goal is to have our Gang solution implemented throughout the United States and internationally," Benson said. "We are marketing our solution heavily in California and are anxious to work with our law enforcement partners to implement the entire solution to aid in the gang problems facing California."
This technology will put "the teeth back into the law," allowing law enforcement officers to truly begin combating gangs across the country.
Sky Detective's Gang Cure solution has gained recognition from news agencies Channel 6 and Channel 12 in Boise Idaho, as seen on their website www.skydetective.com.
