What is EMP?
EMP stands for Electronic Monitoring Parole. When first released on parole, many offenders are required by the Parole Board to have a monitoring device on their ankle that electronically confirms their whereabouts. Monitored by the electronic device and their PO, these parolees must follow detailed daily schedules, which define how much time (if any) they are permitted to leave their homes for prescribed activities like work, grocery shopping, or medical appointments.
