Theft deterrent device, system, and method
First Claim
1. A wearable electronic monitoring device for deterring and/or monitoring entrance of an individual wearing the device into an area, the device comprising:
- a wearable body configured to be worn by an individual to be deterred from entrance into a retail environment;
a theft deterrent device coupled to the wearable body, the theft deterrent device operably configured to be detectable by at least one theft deterrent gate device disposed proximate an entrance area to the retail environment; and
an alarm coupled to the wearable body and operably configured to communicate an alarm condition in response to the at least one theft deterrent gate device detecting the theft deterrent device.
