Reliable region monitoring (geofence-based) while app is killed

I am developing an app used by public safety agencies. Part of the app is used to determine live agency staffing using geofences. For example, a geofence exists around a station, and when a user enters or exits that geofence, the app updates the staffing count at that station in real time.

The issue I am having is reliably detecting when a user enters or exits the geofence while the app is killed (meaning the user force quit the app from the app launcher). I understand that iOS can relaunch an app in the background if the system terminated the process using Region Monitoring, but I haven't gotten a clear answer about whether or how this is possible if the user kills (force quits) the app.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
