The Challenge

Police cells are full — and suspects can't be tracked

Police cells across Ghana are overcrowded with suspects awaiting trial. Officers arrest, process, and hold individuals — but have no tool to monitor them once released on bail or during investigation. The result: overcrowded cells, suspects who flee before court dates, and bail conditions that exist on paper but cannot be enforced.

Overcrowded

Police cells beyond capacity

Police station cells hold suspects awaiting trial — many for minor offenses — filling space meant for high-risk detention. Low-risk suspects occupy cells because there is no way to monitor them in the community.

Untracked

Suspects on bail, no oversight

When police grant bail for minor offenses, suspects walk free with conditions — curfews, reporting, stay-away orders — but officers have no way to verify compliance or know if a suspect has fled.

0

Monitoring technology deployed

No police unit in Ghana has electronic monitoring capability. Suspects granted bail or released pending investigation cannot be tracked — the technology simply does not exist in the field.

Fleeing

Suspects absconding before trial

Without monitoring, suspects released on bail frequently fail to appear for court dates. Officers spend valuable time tracking down absconders instead of investigating new cases.

The Solution

Proven electronic monitoring — deployed as a managed service

Skyhawk brings GPS tracking, geofencing, and tamper alerts to your police service. The same technology monitors suspects in 50+ countries worldwide — at a fraction of the cost of holding them in cells.

GPS Tracking

2-meter accuracy with continuous location reporting over 4G LTE.

Geofencing

Define inclusion and exclusion zones. Instant alerts on breach.

Tamper Alerts

Strap-cut and removal detection triggers immediate escalation.

Two-Way Voice

Direct communication channel between officer and monitored individual.

Cost comparison (South Africa benchmark)

A fraction of detention cost

Electronic monitoring delivers community supervision at roughly one-third the cost of holding a suspect in custody — freeing cell capacity for high-risk individuals who genuinely must be detained.

Use Cases

How Ghana Police uses Skyhawk

Every police unit that manages suspects — from arrest through trial — gains real-time visibility and enforcement capability with Skyhawk.

Police CID

Suspect Monitoring

Track suspects released during active investigation. Set geofences to restrict movement, monitor compliance with bail conditions, and receive instant alerts if a suspect attempts to flee jurisdiction.

Criminal Investigation Department
Station Level

Remand Alternative

Relieve police cell overcrowding by releasing low-risk suspects awaiting trial to electronic monitoring instead of holding them in cells. Free detention space for high-risk individuals while maintaining supervision.

Station Commanders · Cell Management
DOVVSU

Domestic Violence Enforcement

Enforce protection orders with GPS exclusion zones around survivors' homes and workplaces. The instant a monitored individual breaches a boundary, officers receive an alert — enabling proactive intervention before harm occurs.

Domestic Violence & Victim Support Unit
Anti-Narcotics

Drug Offender Compliance

Monitor persons on court-ordered treatment or restricted-movement conditions. Verify attendance at rehabilitation programs and enforce curfews without dedicating officers to physical surveillance.

Anti-Narcotics Unit
Patrol

Bail Condition Enforcement

When station officers grant bail for minor offenses, Skyhawk verifies every condition — curfews, reporting requirements, stay-away orders. If a suspect fails to appear for a court date, the system flags it immediately.

Station Officers · Patrol Division
Immigration

Immigration Reporting

Track persons subject to immigration reporting conditions as an alternative to detention. Monitor compliance with movement restrictions while deportation proceedings are processed.

Immigration Service · Border Patrol
