NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Mick Fuller, said the tracking devices would be an Australian first and they were about stopping perpetrators before their next crime. Magistrates would determine which offenders were fitted with tracking devices, giving victims more protection.
"The criteria will first be a criminal charge that's linked to domestic and family violence ... and certainly their history will be an important part of accessing which perpetrator should wear the bracelet," Assistant Commissioner Fuller said. "We need to protect the next victim, who is a potential homicide."
Ms Goward said the tracking devices would send a very clear message to offenders, that if they breach a domestic violence order, they will be caught.
