Detection Innovation Group, Inc. is a technology solutions company that focuses on modernizing corrections supervision tools and improving the wellbeing of incarcerated individuals. The company is based in Newark, DE. The system provides automated headcount results, inmate location within the facility, and dozens of automated reports for management oversight. The company's iLink system is a low-cost, easy-to-use system that reduces officer workload while increasing awareness of the status of each inmate. The secure and lightweight iLink tag is fitted comfortably around the ankle and continuously monitors and wirelessly reports inmate status via their secure encrypted network. Founded in 2018 by the same technical team that invented the first GPS electronic monitoring system for offenders supervised by community corrections agencies, the company has more than 80 years of combined experience with body-worn monitoring systems.
