"Gang area zoning involves the zoning of specific known and targeted gang areas. Sky Detective, Inc. has a Pending Patent for a GPS/CDMA assisted device that can be attached to individual gang members by order of the Court, as a condition of their probation or parole, which provides the gang member's location at all times. He or she would not be able to leave or enter designated areas (inclusion or exclusion zones) without alerting the Monitor for immediate action. Rival gang locations can be zoned as exclusion areas for the offender. This is a very real deterrent in preventing known gang members from becoming mobile in order to converge and engage in gang activities."
