Tennessee's Premier GPS Offender Tracking Service: Keeping Track of Community Safety
Being on GPS Monitoring Services is a privilege offered in place of incarceration.
While the ability to GPS-track offenders has existed for a long time, immediate, real-time accountability has not. In response to the enactment of the Debbie & Marie Domestic Violence Prevention Act in July 2024, Smoky Mountain Offender Tracking launched our premier services to provide that accountability with an added layer of safety.
Chris Wilkinson, CEO
After years of seeing offenders being falsely accused of violating pre-trial or protective orders, we set out to protect both offenders and survivors. Survivors are sent immediate alerts regarding their abuser’s proximity. If allegations arise, offenders can receive verified location data for the courts.
Within moments of a call, our team responds to local jails, courts, or bail bonding agencies. Clients are fitted with a state-of-the-art ODIN-i GPS monitor and registered in our Computer-Aided GPS Overwatch Platform. Survivors are then contacted to receive their dedicated Samsung Device, digitally linked to the offender with set exclusion zones. If an exclusion zone is breached, both parties are contacted to verify compliance and ensure the survivor’s safety.
All GPS-monitored offenders are continuously tracked to ensure adherence to their bond conditions.

We have a track record of meeting the needs of those who use our services. The court and the legal community have approved of our monitoring systems and our reputation gets us the necessary OKs to provide the services we do to both victims and offenders.
We have helped victims become more confident in their safety and privacy during this time in their lives. The equipment we use is state-of-the-art and we monitor the offenders all day and all night/ every day and night according to the orders of the court. Importantly, we are very accessible to those who rely on us.
We understand the pressures on offenders to check-in and comply with the orders of the Court as directed. We are respectful and reliable and keep the necessary records to accurately and timely monitor and report the offender's compliance [or non-compliance should the need arise]. Also, we make the process of payment from the offender as trouble-free as possible.
We not only provide timely and reliable services but we do so at a rate typically lower rate. We understand that when the Court orders an offender to pay for GPS monitoring services, the cost is often an unexpected add-on expense that can be hard to manage. Thus, we do not operate just for the fee, we only charge what is necessary and reasonable.
We provide different services to the court, the offender and the victim. Often, even the family-members of the victim and the offender contact us with thanks for making the GPS Monitoring journey professional and more positive than negative. Peace of mind is had by all. The court knows we are doing what we are ordered to do. The offenders know we treat them with respect and truthfully report their monitoring. And victims . . . they appreciate knowing that we are tracking offenders to help them feel safer while protecting their privacy. It is clear we care about those we serve.
