Allegheny County, located in southwestern Pennsylvania has over 1,100 registered sex offenders and now 43 of them are wearing a GPS-type monitoring device as part of their parole.
Those being tracked with the device will set off a pager when they venture into an excluded zone, such as schools, daycare centers, playgrounds and other facilities where children congregate. Police are alerted and at that point the sex offender could be arrested which could result in being returned to prison.
