Parole Officer Protection Alarms Device & System
The U.S. Department of Justice reports that between 39 and 55 percent of parole and probation officers have been subject to some level of violence on the job.
According to the American Probation and Parole Association, two-thirds of convicted criminals are under the supervision of a parole or probation officer in the United States.
Parole officers provide a valuable service to the community and are often required to have good people skills and a sense of critical thinking as situations often arise where they are put in high risk working environments.
Parole officers are high risk mobile workers. Buddy systems and field team work are helpful but often unreliable. GuardianMPS can transform an officers smartphone into a fully functional panic alarm, increasing confidence and reducing the risk of workplace violence.
High risk work environments left unchecked can be costly to an organization. Unnecessary costs and claims relating to sickness absence, decreased performance and compensation claims can be reduced by implementing a lone mobile worker safety solution such as GuardianMPS.
Many Parole officers will rely on calling a supervisor or coworker alerting them to the risks involved in a visit. The effectiveness of that type of safety measure is based in large part on the availability of supervisors and coworkers, who are often handling their own caseloads and responsibilities.
A user logs an activity before a visit estimating how long it will take to complete, and logs out when done. If there is an overrun on the activity Guardian MPS ‘pings’ them and if there is no reply, a ‘listen live’ feature activates and a respondent dials discreetly into the smartphone to evaluate the situation. The emergency services are immediately dispatched if the situation escalates..

Executive Safety FAQ
Do I need to turn off the device to charge it?
No. It is a good practice though, as starting up resets everything to its optimum configuration. When you first get your device it is preferable to leave it charging overnight so that any software updates can be sent.
Device communications
The amber light will flash fast while booting up, then show 2 quick flashes every 5 seconds. This indicates the device is connected with the GuardianMPS server.
Connectivity
The blue light flashing indicates network and GPS communications. When connected to a 4G network, the device can connect the panic alarm call to our monitoring center. When the device sends us GPS coordinates, we can pinpoint your location. We give the location coordinates to the police if we need to dispatch them to help you.
The device will flash blue alternating as below:
1 Flash = GPS enabled, followed by;
3 Flashes = Connected to 3G
If the single flash is not showing, the device is not receiving GPS (typically due to buildings obscuring the signal). The device stores the previous GPS data even though new GPS data is not being received. That location will be sent to the response center. If the single blue flash cannot be seen, move to an outside position clear of tall building, that will ensure there is up to date GPS data.
Is the device waterproof?
To a point. It is rated to be splashed with water, but total immersion is not advised.
What if I accidently press the SOS button?
Depending on the response protocol, our monitoring center or a supervisor will try and contact you on your cell phone. In addition, the response service records any audio from the device. The response center can determine if there is a struggle, a code word or sentence being used, or just general background noise.
Is there a way for me to log visits in case I can’t raise an alarm on the device?
Depending on the response protocol, our monitoring center or a supervisor will try and contact you on your cell phone. In addition, the response service records any audio from the device.
