BluTag

Active monitors enrollees using active GPS technology that generates immediate notifications 

containing near real-time data. This notification allows supervising agents to quickly take the appropriate 

action related to each notification.   
Because BluTag is a one-piece monitoring device, it remains securely fastened to an enrollee’s ankle at 

all times. No additional equipment is needed to effectively monitor an enrollee.  
In its standard configuration, an active device determines location once a minute and contacts VeriTracks 

once every 10 minutes to transmit its tracking data. However, the device calls in immediately in the event 

of a violation. This action provides near real-time violation notification and near real-time enrollee 

tracking. 
The device secures to an offender’s ankle with a fiber optic cable-lined strap that detects tamper attempts.  

The strap attaches to the transceiver with two pins. If an offender attempts to disengage the device from 

his or her ankle by pulling on the strap at the connection point, the pins break.  If a strap tamper occurs, 

BluTag records and stores the event until the agent addresses the alarm.  
Blu+ operates in the same manner as Blutag. Its operation throughout this manual is the same as 

BluTag Hybrid 
BluTag Hybrid communicates device tampering and inclusion zone violations with near real-time data 

like BluTag Active. Supervising agents can also “ping” the device so it immediately transmits the 

enrollee’s current location regardless of when the last GPS coordinates were transmitted to VeriTracks. 
A distinct advantage of BluTag Hybrid is its ability to easily and quickly convert to active GPS 

monitoring without changing equipment. Supervising agents need only call, email, or fax the STOP 

Solutions Center any time of the day or night to switch the device to active GPS monitoring. 
In its standard configuration, a BluTag Hybrid device calls VeriTracks to transmit its tracking data under 

the following conditions: 



  Enrollee charges the device, 



  Enrollee enters the tether range of a BluHome unit,  



  Enrollee violates a 911 inclusion zone, 



  BluTag records a bracelet strap tamper, or  



  Agent or officer “pings” the device while logged into VeriTracks. 

BluTag Passive 
BluTag Passive receives and stores all monitoring data onboard until the enrollee enters the RF tether 

range of BluHome that is installed in an enrollee’s home.  More information about BluHome is included 

later in this chapter.  
Unlike multi-piece tracking devices, BluTag Passive transmits data via an radio frequency (or RF) signal 

to BluHome while still attached to an enrollee’s ankle. Multi-piece passive GPS devices require an 

enrollee to remove the transmitter (the component that actually tracks an enrollee’s movements) every 

day for up to eight hours to recharge the battery and/or transmit monitoring data.  
BluTag Passive immediately receives GPS coordinates when the RF tether between itself and BluHome 

breaks. Because BluTag Passive remains securely attached to an enrollee’s ankle at all times.  Public
