A system for locating an individual includes a chip with a unique code, a monitor with the unique code, a monitoring station in communication with the monitor, a satellite communication station in communication with the monitoring station, and satellites in communication with the satellite communication station. The chip is implantable in the individual. The satellites transmit a search signal over a search area of predetermined size. The search area is increased until the chip is located. The search signals from the satellites form triangulation data. Location data is formed from the triangulation data and transmitted to the monitor.
