Real estate properties can have lockboxes that contain keys for gaining property access. The lockboxes can record information about each real estate agent who showed a property and can wirelessly transmit that information for storage in a database. The information can include the agent's identity, an identifier of the lockbox or property, and an access time, for example. The agent can carry a personal emergency response system (PERS) device so that the agent can send out a wireless emergency alert if the agent feels threatened or otherwise experiences an emergency situation. Upon receipt of such a wireless emergency alert, a remote system can access the database to determine one or more properties that the agent has visited. Thus, the system can track the agent and determine a location of the emergency situation.

An officer can utilize an offender monitor to track remotely and manage the whereabouts of an offender, such as someone who as been convicted of a crime and is on parole. The officer can compose and send custom messages to send to the offender via the offender monitor. The offender monitor can store a received message so that the offender can play the message at an appropriate time via pressing a button on the offender monitor or making another input. If the officer deems that a message is urgent or needs to be played immediately, the officer can transmit a command to the offender monitor that causes the message to be played automatically.
