With the ability and option to provide supervision by teleconference, many more potential sex offender treatment providers would be able to access required supervision resources in an efficient manner.  It would cut back on needed travel and travel time in order to physically meet face to face with supervisors and the quality of the supervision would be the same.  We have the computer resources now to provide at least a portion of the supervision via teleconference and it would be a tremendous step forward to be able to utilize the technology in this way.  It would also be better for the environment (less travel) and less stressful to have this option.
