Police vehicle tracking is a growing trend within many cities around the world. Not only does tracking police cars with GPS ensure the safety and accountability of all officers on the force, but it also provides the law enforcement agency, its officers, and citizens a variety of benefits. One of the biggest benefits offered by police vehicle tracking is that it provides those in law enforcement the ability to better deploy available units to fight crime more efficiently. This reduces crime, increases arrest rates, and reduces the amount of officer or civilian injuries. Another benefit offered by tracking police officers with GPS is the ability to locate missing or lost police officers or their vehicles in the line of duty.

The benefits of tracking police cars with GPS are not limited to safety and accountability issues. In fact, many law enforcement agencies that utilize police vehicle tracking have been known to reduce costs associated with labor hours, fuel consumption, and vehicle maintenance. Tracking police vehicles with GPS can also help to reduce carbon emissions. In turn, this helps law enforcement agencies within the community promote a healthier, more sustainable environment.

Raveon Technologies offers law enforcement agencies unique solutions for police vehicle tracking. Through its RavTrack products, law enforcement agencies will be able to ensure officer and civilian safety, enforce work-zones, reduce labor hours and wasted time of officers, and monitor police vehicles for unnecessary speeding. Because Raveon Technologies uses private radio networks (CS1) to transmit GPS location, police vehicle tracking has never been more cost effective. This is because there are no monthly fees associated with the use of the technology. Additionally, the private radio networks allow law enforcement agencies to track police cars and track police officers with GPS faster and more frequently than competing GPS tracking solutions.

Squad car tracking has proven to be an effective way to reduce crime and improve the safety of those working within law enforcement. Ironically, tracking police squad cars with GPS systems is quite similar to tracking commercial fleet vehicles, asset tracking, and bus tracking. In order for law enforcement agencies to perform squad car tracking, they must first ensure that GPS transponders are installed and working within all squad cars they operate. Once this process is complete, it is recommended that the law enforcement agency purchase GPS tracking systems. Utilizing GPS tracking systems to perform squad car tracking, will allow the law enforcement agency to improve officer and civilian safety, reduce the need for high speed chases, monitor squad car activity, and reduce incidents of lost or missing units.

After law enforcement agencies purchase the necessary GPS tracking systems for tracking their police squad cars, it is necessary to install the transponders into each vehicle. Then, the law enforcement agency will be required to install the necessary GPS tracking software, such as our RavTrack PC. Once this process is complete, the law enforcement agency will be able to effectively perform its vehicle tracking activities.

RavTrack products by Raveon Technologies offer law enforcement agencies affordable and easy-to use-solutions for its squad car tracking needs. Unlike many of its competitors, Raveon Technologies uses private radio networks (CS1) to transmit GPS location. Currently, close to 98 percent of the competitors within the industry use cellular or satellite networks. What this means is that is that there is no monthly usage fees associated with any of the RavTrack products. The use of private radio networks also allows users to track faster and more frequently. Since all RavTrack products do not require an internet connection, they can be used anywhere, including rural areas. This is ideal for all law enforcement agencies and public safety applications.
