Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Based on the relevant decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in order to prevent the escape of persons suspected of committing a crime, to whom a preventive measure in the form of imprisonment, and prisoners, a system of using electronic bracelets will be introduced.

When an escort person tries to escape (suspected of committing a crime, a person in pre-trial detention and a prisoner), the electronic bracelet automatically sends an audio and visual message online to the designated escort and to the duty units of the regional internal affairs bodies, military units of the command of guard troops, investigative insulators and correctional colonies.

Thus, persons under escort who are trying to escape will be caught in hot pursuit thanks to the GPS signals transmitted from the electronic bracelets they wear.

By 1 December 2024, all escort units of the internal affairs bodies will be fully equipped with electronic bracelets.
