Personal tracking device

A tracking system comprising:

• a tracking server in communication with a network in communication with a cellular data network;
• an electronic ankle monitor including:
• a base that houses:
• computational circuitry;
• communication circuitry in communication with the computational circuitry, the communication circuitry in communication with the tracking server through the cellular data network;
• location circuitry in communication with computational circuitry, the location circuitry including global positioning system (GPS) circuitry and one or more accelerometers;
• a detection circuitry in communication with the computational circuitry;
• and
• a locking mechanism including a motor to turn a lock nut to engage the locking pin;
• and
• a strap to engage the base and in electrical communication with the detection circuitry, wherein to engage the base, the strap includes a locking pin, the locking pin in communication with the embedded circuitry of the strap and when engaged with the lock nut is secured against a pogo pin of the detection circuitry;
• and
• wherein the tracking server is in communication with a smartphone application implemented on a smartphone via the cellular data network, the smartphone application associated with a wearer of the electronic ankle monitor.
