The disclosure relates to systems and methods for automating offender documentation with RFID. Such a system can include a transponder associated with an offender and a radio frequency identification reader configured to transmit an interrogating signal to the transponder and receive an identifying signal in response to the transponder receiving the interrogating signal. The system can further include a server configured to receive data from the radio frequency identification reader through a network, transmit the received data to a web service through the network, and receive an alert from the web service that a monitoring rule relating to the offender was violated. The system can allow a user to pre-program one or more programmable events and associate an individual RFID reader with one or more of the programmable events to allow the RFID reader to help perform multiple functions simultaneously.
