Creating zones is a two-step process. First the zone is created, then it is assigned to
an offender. You can create Inclusion or Exclusion zones and have four ways to
assign the zone(s) to the offender. Zone assignment defines the way you are notified
about violation events.
Creating Zones
Zones are created to better track offender movements.
Inclusion zones define an area in which an offender must stay. For example, if an

monitor when an offender leaves their assigned zones.
Exclusion zones define an area(s) where an offender is not allowed to enter. For
example, if an offender has been ordered to keep a distance of at least 500 feet from
his or her former spouse’s home, a zone can be set up around that location with time
sensitivity and remain active 24/7. When the offender enters into this zone, this will
produce a violation.
There are two ways to create a zone:
