<p>Electronic Monitoring (EM), both of curfews and using satellite enabled tags to
monitor an individual’s whereabouts, is a vital tool in protecting the public and
robustly monitoring offenders in the community. It supports probation staff and the
police in managing offenders and defendants safely in the community, delivering the
orders of the court and helping to tackle the problems which lead to offending.</p><p>The

</p><p>Some orders are for multiple offences, in these cases orders have been assigned

conditions = not surrendering to bail, and non-compliance of orders = BREACH OF ACTION
PLAN ORDER, Breach of Criminal Behaviour Order, Breach of Restraining order, Failure
to attend supervision appointments, Failure to comply with Notification Requirements,
FAILURE TO NOTIFY OF CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES etc.</p><p>If a subject on tag does not
comply with an Electronic Monitoring condition or requirement, for example by being
absent during curfew hours or tampering with a tag, an instantaneous alert is generated
that is sent to Electronic Monitoring Services (EMS). The appropriate authorities
decide, based on the evidence, whether the non-compliance event constitutes a breach
and if so what action should be taken. The nature of breaches vary, and not all non-compliance
events are classed as formal breaches requiring further action – for example, if the
subject was at hospital or in custody at the time, and therefore unable to return
to their curfew location in time for their curfew. While the majority of non-compliance
events will generate an alert than can lead to a breach there are a range of other
circumstances that can lead to breach action being taken.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
