The Elmo-Tech TRaCE system is a multi-featured electronic monitoring
system designed to locate, identify and observe moving people (inmates,
security staff or guests) in a geographically limited area that can be used in
various types of correctional facilities and their surrounding areas. The

system.

is pulled away from the officer’s belt (lanyard), or if the officer is pushed
down to the ground (man-down). The Officer Duress Unit also provides
continuous monitoring of the officer’s location.
