Tracking Squad Cars with GPS


January 14, 2010 by John

Tracking police squad carsSquad 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.
