The electronic police surveillance system was implemented in October 2017, and consists of an electronic bracelet used to determine the geographic location for those under surveillance.
The GPS-operated electronic bracelet ensures that convicts are monitored for 24 hours a day.
“This will help convicts participate in rehabilitation and training programmes to ensure their integration into society,” said the Abu Dhabi court.
