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.

Nanny Cams..What they are. What they can do and how they (nanny cams) and JMA can help!

Recently in Jacksonville, FL Nanny Cams have become a big topic. A local woman, that has been babysitting for over 30 years, was recently arrested. The arrest came after the video from a father's nanny cam was used. The full story can be found here

So what is a Nanny Cam? A Nanny Cam is really a covert / hidden camera that has been used for covert / hidden surveillance. In the last several years these cameras have been used to monitor babysitters / nanny's and therefore the term "Nanny Cam" evolved.


These covert camera's range in size, features and cost. Some covert camera's are so small that you do not have to hide them inside any item, while others are bigger but still hidden within a particular item when you purchase them. These camera's can be wired or wireless, run off batteries or electricity and some even have a built in DVR to record video to. These covert camera's do range in cost but many are affordable for any budget!



JMA Investigative Services, Inc. has the experience and equipment on hand to provide you with examples, knowledge and comfort you are looking for. We are also here to answer any questions you may have.

JMA offers DNA Paternity Testing

Today I want to cover the topic of DNA Paternity Testing. While I was browsing the internet about this topic. I have read over many blogs, forums, etc.

I have noticed that some women absolutely do not like the fact of having a DNA test done at birth. While I was reading over all this information I also found that almost all Men that are "not sure" prefer to have a DNA test done at birth. So why does this cause such a conflict with the mother and potential father?

Example 1, Mother and Father are not married and Father is "not sure" and would like to have a DNA test done before signing the birth certificate. What is wrong with requesting a DNA test? Not a thing!

Example 2, Mother and Father are married and the Father is 90% sure he is the father. Should he request a DNA test? If he is in doubt then absolutely!

Example 3, Mother gives birth but is unsure of the Father. By locating and tracking down the potential Father we can ask that they take a DNA test to confirm that they are or are not the Father. While we, JMA, can not force anyone to take the DNA test, a judge can order the potential Father to take a DNA test.



What we have to keep in mind, regardless if we are the mother or the father, is that we need to make sure the best interest of the child comes first and then the best interest of the Mother AND Father (equally).

While we can not provide any legal advise, I do base my suggestions or comments from my experience in the State of Florida. If you are unsure that you are the father, you do NOT have to sign the birth certificate. You CAN request a DNA test and you CAN have your name added to the birth certificate at a later time. Once you sign your name, you are the responsible for the child even if he/she is not yours. It is always better to be safe then sorry!

Should you have any questions regarding DNA testing please give us a call.

Valentines Day the # 1 day to cheat?

It is true. Valentines Day is the #1 day of the year to cheat! While many may think the men are the ones cheating, the women are actually doing it as well. In our line of work we have actually found it to be about 50/50 with men vs women. Have you found some text messages in your significant other cell phone and do not know the number? We can help locate the user of that phone as well as provide background information on the subject. If you suspect that your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend is cheating then give JMA a call. JMA Investigative Services, Inc offers numerous services to assist, including covert video / surveillance and GPS tracking.

Your gut feeling is normally right!

We offer a FREE consultation and we are here to help.
