BATON ROUGE, LA – Officials with a Baton Rouge ankle monitoring company reportedly held a catered office celebration Thursday after learning their devices had officially been present for their 100th customer-related shooting incident without suffering a single equipment failure.
Employees marked the occasion with cake, balloons, and what one supervisor described as “a tremendous milestone in durability and tracking excellence.”
“We’ve had Baton Rouge customers involved in shootings, pursuits, carjackings, armed robberies, and barricade situations,” said regional manager Todd Boudreaux. “Through all of it, not one bracelet has stopped transmitting. That’s the kind of reliability you just don’t see anymore.”
The celebration comes after another suspect out on bond with an ankle monitor was allegedly connected to a recent Baton Rouge shooting, reigniting criticism over the city’s troubled monitoring system.
Company representatives defended the program, explaining that the devices are primarily designed to document criminal activity, not necessarily prevent it.
“Our job is to know where they are after the shooting,” one employee clarified. “And frankly, we’ve been phenomenal at that.”
Supervisors reportedly applauded after learning the device battery still had 42% remaining following the shooting.
