Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland; and Staffordshire and West Midlands Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRC) have piloted Biometric Reporting Kiosks. The pilot has involved stakeholder engagement with the National Probation Service and HM Courts Service in the area, and will be evaluated before it is implemented more widely.<\/p>
