Whereas:

In cases involving high-risk federal offenders convicted of intimate partner violence, current release conditions alone may be insufficient to prevent further contact, intimidation, stalking, coercive control, escalation, or other harm

Active GPS electronic monitoring, including geofencing and exclusion-zone enforcement where appropriate, can provide a more effective means of supervising compliance with release conditions and enhancing victim safety

The cost of active GPS electronic monitoring is modest when compared with the substantial economic and social costs associated with reoffending, enforcement, emergency response, incarceration, and renewed victimization

A presumption in favour of active GPS electronic monitoring in appropriate high-risk cases would promote consistency, transparency, and public safety, while preserving individualized assessment and permitting documented exceptions where monitoring is not necessary or proportionate

Victims and protected persons should receive timely notice, meaningful consultation, and practical safety-planning support, including information respecting exclusion zones and breach-response protocols.
