SecureAlert, Inc. Subsidiary to Provide Sex Offender Patient Tracking for Minnesota Sex Offender Program at Moose Lake, Minnesota

Someone in power needs their head examined, and its not a patient. This is the most unbelievable waste of money I have ever seen, folks in Minnesota should petition the Gov. to have this person removed from office!
3-4-2011 Minnesota:

SANDY, UT -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/25/11 -- Securealert Inc. (OTCBB: SCRA), a leading international provider of patented, wireless electronic monitoring systems and services to public safety agencies, announces that their subsidiary, Midwest Monitoring and Surveillance, Inc., has reached agreement to provide patient tracking system inside the Minnesota Sex Offender Program at Moose Lake, Minnesota for a contract price of $725,456. The project began on February 9th, and is expected to take approximately 90 days to install and become fully functional.

"The Moose Lake project further demonstrates SecureAlert's ability to deliver a variety of monitoring solutions in support of a broad range of offender-specific customer needs," said Gary Shelton, President of the Midwest Monitoring and Surveillance operating division of SecureAlert, Inc. Mr. Shelton continued that "the State of Minnesota and the Moose Lake facility management team have been very deliberate in their efforts and diligent in their requirements to seek out the most efficient and effective solution available in the marketplace today." "We are very proud to have the opportunity to service this critical program," concluded Mr. Shelton.

"We continue to see an increased demand for 24/7 intervention monitoring solutions and for offender-specific applications," said John L. Hastings, President and Chief Operating Officer of SecureAlert, Inc. Mr. Hastings continued, "Even though these offenders are held within a secured facility to help correct their behavior, there is a need for these offenders to understand that they are under constant supervision, and the need for them to abide by every rule and requirement placed upon them by their counselors. Electronic monitoring is but one of the tools necessary to assist facility staff with helping patients understand that they have boundaries and accountabilities and that their movements do not go unchecked."

"We are pleased that our subsidiary Midwest Monitoring and Surveillance has continued to perform and win contracts that are driving SecureAlert towards profitability. We are grateful for their commitment and the partnership which we have achieved," concluded Mr. Hastings. ..Source..

They have to use the extra money on something. The problem with these "news" articles is that they don't mention that when there is extra money in the budget, they gotta use it or lose it in the year that they have it allotted for. They can't just save it and use it in the future. Granted yes they could be using it for other things but when money is set aside for one thing, they can't use it for another. For example, if a facility was given a grant or money for building upkeep, they have to use it just for building maintenance, and not for hiring new staff or giving raises. This is pretty much the case with this too.
