A method, system and apparatus for monitoring objects, such as offenders, is provided. The method includes the steps of providing an electronic monitoring device 16 for attachment to an object to be monitored and providing a tamper evident tether 14 for attachment of the electronic monitoring device to the object to be monitored. The electronic monitoring device is attached to the object to be monitored using the tamper evident tether, and the electronic monitoring device is remotely monitored in order to monitor the location of the object. The method further includes the steps of providing the tamper evident tether with a unique identifier, such as an RFID, and providing an electronic data store remote from the electronic monitoring device. The unique identifier for the tether is recorded in the electronic data store, together with information about the object to be monitored and/or the associated electronic monitoring device. An interrogation step is performed at least once after the date on which the electronic monitoring device is first attached to the object, to determine whether the tether associated with the electronic monitoring device has the same unique identifier as that recorded in the electronic data store. A monitoring system includes monitoring devices, tamper evident tethers, electronic data store and interrogation tool for interrogating the ID on the tether. The apparatus comprises a monitoring device, a tamper evident tether and an installation tool for attaching the monitoring device to an object via one of the tethers. The installation tool also records the ID from the tether during attachment. |
