Abstract
A system and method of implementing an alarm hierarchy in a remote tracking device tracked by a monitoring center is described. The remote tracking device is worn by a wearer and includes a location determining mechanism, a wireless communication mechanism and a processor operable to monitor the status of the remote tracking device and to compare the location of the remote tracking device to a set of programmed rules. The system and method include an automated response to an initial indication of an alarm condition invoked by the remote tracking device based on a change to the status of the remote tracking the device or a violation of the programmed rules. The automated response provides an indication of the alarm condition to the wearer. Next, communication can be established with the monitoring center when the alarm condition persists, such that the monitoring center can provide instructions to the wearer based on the alarm condition. If the wearer does not comply with the instructions from the monitoring center, a warning mechanism in the remote tracking device can be activated to warn those in the vicinity of the wearer.
