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></td></tr></tbody></table>
