With law enforcement and police agencies across the world struggling with budgetary constraints and cut-backs, apprehending criminals and improving internal investigative work can seem impossible. GPS tracking systems provide financially responsible or monetarily challenged law enforcement agencies and police departments the ability to sustain budget cuts without effecting officer effectiveness or performance. GPS tracking devices help assist police and government agencies by:
Allowing law enforcement to monitor a suspected drug-trafficker, arsonist, child molester, or any potential criminal suspect 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Giving law enforcement departments the ability to audit or monitor potentially under-performing employees.
Providing a unique and accurate way for officers to easily track vehicle maintenance records and mileage driven.
Tracking a suspect no longer requires an officer to spend months out on stake-outs or patrolling duties. GPS tracking systems always place a criminal or suspect within the long reach of the law as their driving and travel history can be recorded, stored, or viewed in real-time live! GPS tracking devices are now built and engineered to be compact, covert, and durable. The GPS vehicle tracking units can ensure a suspect, criminal, or evidence is accurately and successfully monitored, helping law enforcement agencies compile evidence for an arrest.
When it comes to tracking or monitoring a potential suspect or criminal many law enforcement agencies prefer to have the personal tracking system data available and accessible in real-time. The SilverCloud GPS is a real-time GPS tracker that has a long and consistent track record of assisting local, state, and federal municipalities and law enforcement agencies across the entire United States. Utilizing Global Positioning System satellite technology, and combining that with cellular communication and satellite imagery programs results in streaming real-time tracking data that can be viewed live!
Because of the budgetary constraints and cut-backs facing many police departments, many government and police agencies have turned to a cost-effective approach to GPS monitoring known as passive GPS tracking. The GPS Tracking Key Pro is the most widely used passive tracking device by law enforcement agencies across the United States because of its durable design, and ability to record over 100 hours of wheels-in-motion drive time on a single lithium battery cycle. Designed with an attached powerfule exterior magnetic for outside mounting and placement, the GPS Tracking Key Pro gives authorities the flexibility to attach the GPS tracker to the outside frame underneath a potential criminal or suspect's vehicle.
Passive tracking systems provide police and law enforcement with second-by-second tracking, but do so at easily half the cost of the GPS tracking hardware and with no service fees. However, because passive tracking systems do not use cellular communication in transmitting data they must be removed from the vehicle and downloaded in order for a law enforcement agency to capture and view the recorded data. The best way to think of a passive tracking solution is that it is a recorder of vehicle travel history or a data-logger.
Whether It Is Real-Time GPS Tracking Or Passive GPS Tracking, The Technology Is Giving Law Enforcement Agencies Everything They Need To Be Successful On The Fight Against Criminals.
Bringing the bad guys to justice is the primary goal of all police departments across the globe. While creating and maintaining a safe and secure society seems like an impossible chore, everyday good men and women put on their police uniforms and badges to make a positive difference in their community in an effort to attain the vision of a society where all the bad guys are behind bars. Unfortunately, we also live in a society that is driven by bureaucrats and finances, meaning if police departments and government agencies do not get the proper and appropriate funding they will struggle to effectively complete their duties as protectors of the law. This is one of the negative consequences many places across the United States are seeing due to the struggling economic conditions, increase in government debt and overall deterioration of the health of the global economy. Although budget cuts and reduction in public funds is now becoming prevalent in many areas, police investigators are still able to chase down bad guys with precision and detail thanks in large part to the help of a surveillance tool known as the GPS tracker!
The GPS System Of Choice Among Many Police Departments
When it comes to law enforcement investigative tools, police forces cannot afford to have something that is not reliable, accurate and easy-to-use. The tool must meet professional grade standards, and of course it does not hurt if the tool is cost-effective enough to meet the dwindling budgets of many police departments. Using security products is nothing new to the men in blue, but as more and more budgets are being sliced down to near nothing in an effort by states, counties and cities to balance budgets, the good guys are turning toward the use of GPS vehicle tracking solutions with more frequency. Currently, there are numerous different forms of GPS systems on the market, ranging from real-time tracking to passive tracking. Although these different tracking devices range in cost, reliability and overall effectiveness, the GPS system of choice among many police departments has been a compact tracker known as the GPS Tracking Key Pro.
Micro Air Vehicles Showcase New Era In Military Intelligence
Terrorists and global criminals will soon no longer be able to hide from the U.S. Air Force, and sophisticated micro air vehicles will be the reason why. Crossing international borders or dangerous regions controlled by drug cartels to gather intelligence used to be certain suicide, but through the use of mini military drones, the military is able to conduct extensive surveillance and intelligence gathering missions without placing uniformed troops in harm's way. Although the use of drones for intelligence gathering and small attacks has been conducted frequently in combat operations in both Afghanistan and Iraq, the latest innovations in drone technology being created at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) are showing the next level of drones will be nearly impossible to detect by enemy forces.
The United States government has always been on the cutting edge of innovative and ground-breaking technology. They were the ones responsible for the Global Positioning System (GPS) network that introduced GPS tracker and fleet tracking technology to both military and civilian users, and a wide assortment of both powerful and stealth defense systems. However, the latest development of miniature spy craft security products that resemble birds and insects is something that is truly amazing and impressive. What makes these micro air vehicles so special is that first they were engineered to blend in flawlessly with the natural environment, appearing to look exactly like an ordinary insect or bird native to those local in the target region. The sophisticated drone devices can even sit stationed on telephone wires like normal birds, gathering audio and video surveillance and intelligence. This would allow the drones to discover, monitor and target enemy suspects in both complex urban regions and remote areas that are difficult to access by soldier.
When it comes to thorough and complete investigative work nobody does it better than police and law enforcement organizations. With an assortment of crime-fighting tools at their disposal, local, county and state police agencies have the necessary equipment and knowledge to battle thieves, arsonists and murderers roaming local communities. Although many civilians still believe that detectives working important cases sit in undercover squad cars during "stake-outs" where visual observation and note taking is performed as the primary method of surveillance, new modern mechanisms and gadgets have made that form of law enforcement tracking a thing of the past. The newest technological agent helping police gather important investigative data while removing the good guys from the front lines has been the GPS tracker, and no GPS monitoring solution has been more called upon by police agencies across the United States than the GPS Tracking Key Pro.
What makes this particular vehicle monitoring device special is that it has the rare capacity to archive driving data second-by-second while offering long lasting, high-performance recording capabilities. With the strength to capture over 100 hours of wheels-in-action driving activity on only two (2) high-grade AA batteries, and sensitive motion detection sensors that place the GPS tracker into a sleep mode after 150 seconds of stationary activity, it is easy to recognize why this GPS Tracking Key model was designed specifically for extended surveillance operations."The police and government agencies who contact us about the Pro are in need of a cost-effective car tracker that does not depend on cellular transmission of data", explained a sales representative for Tracking System Direct (TSD). "They need a reliable and rugged device that can hold up against the elements, stay in the field for extended lengths of time and record data in areas such as deep in the mountains where no cellular coverage is present, and that is what the Pro can do and more."
Police are probably more aware of the positives associated with GPS tracking systems than any other type of user of the monitoring technology, and once again, it was through the assistance of real-time GPS data that police in Southern California were able to quickly remove a criminal off the streets.
"It was a very good day for law enforcement", explained one of the leaders of the LAPD after discussing how a GPS tracking bracelet helped police apprehend a violent gang banger who shot and killed a young woman in what police described as a gang-bang drive-by shooting. After receiving information and some clues about the suspected gunmen, police accessed data from a GPS tracking device that was already in place to monitor the movements of a gang member who was believed to be involved in the crime. When Los Angeles police enforcement investigators reviewed historical data from the GPS bracelet they were able to put the suspect at the scene of the crime. When the murder investigators went to speak with the suspect they were also able to make a positive identification on the vehicle that was driven by the gang bangers during the murder.
U.S. Marshals Service & The GPS Tracker Connection
When it comes to getting s*** done, the U.S. Marshals Service does not mess around. This is because the U.S. Marshals Service has been enforcing Federal law for over 220 years, transporting prisoners, seizing ill-gotten gains, protecting judges, safeguarding witnesses and putting fugitives behind bars. News stories about the U.S. Marshals Service may not always catch the attention of mainstream media, but everyday they are enforcing the law, like in the recent story about a suspect who was arrested by marshals for beating a Trussville cop. Although the U.S. Marshals Service has deep roots dating back to the colonial era, technology has always been played an intricate part of the success of the government agency. This is because having access to the most modern and sophisticated surveillance and security products has been an instrumental part of the success of the Marshals Service, and it is also why GPS tracker technology has became a staple among the Federal police agency.
Imagine having the ability to instantly access where a potential suspect is and everywhere that individual has been. GPS tracking systems transform science fiction-James Bond technology into a reality by allowing police agencies such as the U.S. Marshals Service to have real-time access to an assortment of location-based data that can be crucial in the investigative process. The U.S. Marshals Service can utilize either a passive monitoring solution such as the GPS Tracking Key or a live tracking solution such as the SilverCloud GPS to acquire incriminating evidence that can be used to protect government witnesses, manage the movements of prisoners and more. Passive data will document GPS positions every second while recording every stop a suspect made, places a suspect traveled and more. Real-time tracking system data has the same type of capabilities while also providing in-depth, detailed reporting and alert features that can notify law enforcement when a suspect is on the move.
Bringing the bad guys to justice is the primary goal of all police departments across the globe.
