Reliant's Recent Participation in International Electronic Monitoring Conference

From October 5-7, 2010, I was honored to travel to France in order to participate in an excellent International Electronic Monitoring Conference sponsored by global electronic monitoring leader, Elmotech. With delegates representing 15 nations in attendance, I was invited to serve as a representative for the USA and to participate in several informative work-sessions. Interacting and networking with so many distinguished security and monitoring professionals from around the world was a distinct privilege and a professional experience that I will not soon forget.

At any given time, every nation employing electronic monitoring (not to mention its professional monitoring service providers) is faced with unique and substantial challenges - whether legislative, risk-management, or operational in nature. For me, it is clearer than ever that those of us who work in and represent this industry have much more in common than not - regardless of our country of origin. I left the conference revitalized and returned to the USA with a deep and renewed respect for my electronic monitoring colleagues in other parts of the world. Additionally, I have made a personal commitment to do considerably more to both learn from them - and share information with them - on a going forward basis.

Reliant's Recent Participation in National Webinar for Child Support Practitioners

On September 14, 2010, I was honored to participate in a national webinar for Child Support Enforcement and Judicial officials, sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services (Office of Child Support Enforcement). The topic was entitled "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Electronic House Arrest" and I was privileged to present equipment, technical and programmatic information regarding the use of electronic monitoring as a tool in the child support enforcement arena - in support of Judges Kristin Ruth (Wake Co. NC) and Mike Thiele (Genesee Co. MI). The webinar appears to have been well-received and reviewd by both session particpants and practioners in the field. If you would like to view a recorded "re-play" of the webinar, I have included the link below...
