Abstract

A system is provided to receive, analyze, and forward data from an electronic monitoring bracelet to a monitoring device capable to alert by means of light, sound, or vibration to the presence of a court mandated electronic bracelet worn by a convicted offender, especially a sexual predator. The system includes an electronic bracelet which emits a Radio Frequency signal or a Global Position Signal, a monitor to receive the GPS or RFM signal and to alert the user of the system to the presence of a braceleted offender in order to avoid contact with the offender. The system provides for a forwarding of the alert to persons, private or public, to aid in avoiding offender contact.
