Law enforcement agents and private investigators specializing in detective work are finding a new and efficient way of monitoring suspects thanks to sophisticated and reliable GPS tracking technology. Law enforcement personnel typically have a comprehensive background and specialized training in criminal investigations, conducting interviews, and gathering evidence. GPS tracking systems provide law enforcement with the tools necessary to quickly gather driving-related data such addresses arrived, speeds driven, addresses departed, stops made, and more. Information that can be critical in any investigation.
Vehicle tracking systems have been used by private investigators, police departments, and government agencies as a way to gather evidence against arsonists, burglars, car thieves, drug traffickers, murders, terrorists and more. Both real-time tracking systems such as the Victoria, and passive tracking devices such as the GPS Tracking Key are used by various branches of law enforcement such as:
1. United States Border Patrol 2. Federal Bureau Of Investigation (FBI)
3.. Local, County And State Police Departments 4. Bureau Of Land Management (BLM)
5. Bureau Of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms And Explosives (ATF) 6. Dept. Of Homeland Security
7. United States Forest Service 8. United States Marine Corps
9. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) 10. United States Department Of Justice
Law enforcement and government agencies are able to conduct extensive investigations at a low cost with the help of GPS tracking technology. The vehicle tracking devices give law enforcement the ability to monitor potential criminals 24 hours a day without having to send an officer out into the field. This is essential because of the consistent cut-backs many agencies face every year, and especially now in a global economic crisis. GPS tracking systems allow law enforcement to work on a tight budget and still effectively and efficiently fight crime!

Looking to piece together the missing events and evidence involved in a murder case, Ottawa police have been combing through wooded areas near Kemptville in search for a hand gun that was believed to be the weapon that took the life of young 19-year-old Mike Swan.
Swan, who shared a house with two other roommates, was shot and killed in his own home on February 22nd.
Police arrested three suspects in connection with the murder of Swan when they accessed the GPS tracking chip in the victim's phone that had been stolen by the murderers. Ottawa police were able to arrest the suspects within hours of the murder because the tracking system chip provided the authorities their position in real-time.
After receiving an anonymous tip where a person stated seeing one of the suspects throw a gun out of the car window, police have been conducting extensive searches along the southbound side of Highway 416.
Police are asking anyone who may have information on the case to contact them immediately.
GPS Tracker Leads Daytona Beach Police To Bank Robber
Bobby Ray Earl probably thought he had nothing to worry about after he stole a bag full of cash from a local bank off Speedway Boulevard near Daytona State College, but little did he know a little GPS tracker was transmitting his position to police the entire time.
Earl walked into a local bank near the site of the famous Daytona 500 Speedway track early Thursday morning, telling a bank teller that he didn't want to hurt anyone but that he needed money. The frightened bank teller met the bank robber's demands, giving him a bag full of cash. However, the quick-thinking teller also placed a GPS tracking system that transmitted the location of the bag in real-time with the cash.
Internal Investigation Results Will Be Released Soon
City Looks Into Misconduct Allegations Within Department
A former police chief and now private investigator, James Gardiner, will submit his final report to the city of Burbank after an extensive investigation into numerous allegations of police misconduct. The city, which hired the private investigator to uncover any potential injustices being committed by the police department, felt it was necessary to take a serious and in-depth look at allegations of excessive violence against some current and former police officers. The city, which is taking the report very seriously, believes some form of disciplinary action will result from the findings after Burbank Police Chief Scott LaChasse reviews the documentation.
Gardiner complied his findings after reviewing court-related documents, speaking with police officers and other witnesses and monitoring surveillance information gathered via vehicle tracking and GPS tracking technology.
LaChasse believes the best way to move forward from the allegations and situation is to bring in new blood, hiring new officers and management outside of the department. Only time will tell how the city of Burbank and the police force deal with the internal investigation reports.
Badge Stops Bullet From Killing Law Enforcement Officer
Police Officer Thankful To Be Alive
Police officers are very well aware of the potential dangers they could face every time they step out into the field with their badge. Dealing with thieves, drug dealers and murderers is all in a day's work for the men in blue. A law enforcement officer will take every precaution available to protect themselves, strapping on a bullet proof vest, being cautious of surroundings and calling for back up when appropriate. However, sometimes an officer can take every possible precaution and still find themselves in a troubling situation, and that is exactly what happened to a Las Vegas police officer who ended up needing a stroke of luck to save his life.
Although the press have not officially released the name of the officer involved, an editor for the GPS tracking news team for Tracking System Direct learned that a officer in Las Vegas was involved in a gun fire exchange after responding to a disturbance phone call and was shot. The GPS tracking editor also uncovered that the officer had sustained no serious injuries related to the gunshot as the bullet from the perpetrator's gun was stopped by the officer's badge.
When a GPS tracking news team member contacted the Las Vegas Police Department the representative verified the story and stated how happy and thankful the entire force was that the bullet was unable to cause injury because of the presence of the badge.
Tracking System Helps DEA Case Against Drug Trafficker
GPS Tracker Records Criminal Activity
Law enforcement and government agencies are very familiar of the advantages GPS tracking technology can provide over criminals. With passive and real-time tracking systems now being staple law enforcement tools, men such as Andres Hernandez Vargas will be finding it much more difficult succeeding in their criminal activities in the future.
Vargas was a Washington resident who was believed to be a drug trafficker of methamphetamine. After the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) received a tip about Vargas' criminal enterprise they began monitoring his movements with a tracking system that recorded specific information about his traveling activities. After reviewing the data from the tracking system the DEA discovered the following information:
GPS Tracking Data
October 17th (Morning): Vargas left Washington heading south bound toward California.
8:00 p.m.: Vargas arrived in North Highlands, California
10:15 p.m.: Vargas stopped in Sacramento, California and headed back north bound to Washington
Once the tracking system confirmed the DEA's suspicions that Vargas was indeed picking up drugs and then traveling with them across state lines, the DEA contacted law enforcement officers to set-up surveillance along a portion of Interstate 5, the highway Vargas was traveling. When Vargas drove through the surveillance area driving 70mph in a 60 mph zone he was quickly pulled over by police.
