"Nearly 40 documented gang members who wore Global Positioning System ankle bracelets as a condition of their parole were returned to prison in the last 11 months for violating the terms of their release.
Although the state began monitoring sex offenders using GPS ankle bracelets in 2005, San Bernardino is the first city in California to use the technology to track high-risk gang members. Using technology to track violent criminals was one strategy in an 18-point anti-crime plan Mayor Pat Morris published last year during his campaign for office. Another theme in his plan centered on partnering with officials outside the city to combat violent crime."
