What is all the hype about with GPS Trackers?

GPS Trackers



Awww one of my favorite topics! These devices have come a long way and they are becoming more and more advanced and at fast pace! These devices are getting smaller and smaller. Currently some are about the size of a small matchbox.



GPS Trackers range in price, power supply, battery power, etc. Some GPS Trackers can last for several months while others may only be good for a few days. If a GPS Tracker is hard wired into the vehicle's electrical system then there is no need for the battery.



The joy of a GPS Tracker is that it is always live! You can log on to the tracking website from your computer, some services allow the use of a smart phone, and literally sit and watch the vehicle, subject or whatever item you are tracking live, moving on the map! Depending on what service you use, you can receive speed, elevation, coordinates, etc. You can even set boundaries for when the tracker leaves an area you can receive an email and/or text message. Some trackers even allow you to send a text to the tracker and receive a text reply with the location, speed, etc.



I recently worked a case from another city, hours away from Jacksonville. The subject was driving a vehicle with a GPS tracker covertly attached to the vehicle. With one Investigator hundreds of miles away watching the website, I was receiving updates as one of my Investigator's was being dispatched to catch up to the vehicle. This GPS Tracker really did wonders with locating the vehicle/subject. Had we not had this tracker we may have never found where the subject visited or caught up to the subject.

There are several reason's to make use of a GPS Tracker:
Cheating Spouse, Child Custody, Employee Monitoring or Teenage Driver just to name a few. The use of a GPS Tracker can save the client hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars! For example, the cost of rental from JMA for a day or by the week is far less then paying our normal $65 an hour fee plus $.50 mileage to have an Investigator following a subject/vehicle 24 hours a day (That's almost $1600 a day plus mileage) that you can monitor at home! Our rental fees are VERY reasonable and require a deposit for the unit which is fully refundable when the tracker is returned to JMA.
