TrackingTheWorld's OFT-210 Ankle Bracelet GPS Tracker
According to the LaCrosse Tribune, a newly introduced Wisconsin bill is asking for GPS tracking devices for repeat offenders of protection orders issued through Wisconsin courts. The GPS tracking bill stems from “Cindy’s Law”, an Illinois law requiring GPS tracking of repeat violators of protective orders, which was named in tribute to a woman killed by her boyfriend three years ago.
Since Illinois enacted the GPS tracking legislation, other states have followed suit, including Minnesota and Indiana. If the bill passes in Wisconsin, the GPS tracking services would be funded by the offenders themselves through a $200 surcharge for every violator of a protective order.

Nineteen people in Detroit are suspects in a nationwide theft ring, partly attributed to the use of covert GPS tracking devices. According to police, the suspects targeted specific jewelry shops and watch stores, often asking to view high-end jewelry and watches before running out the door and jumping into a getaway car without paying for the merchandise.
The theft ring appears to have been somewhat sophisticated in that the stolen merchandise was often tossed into a second car shortly after the theft to prevent it from being found in the vehicle seen leaving the scene. With covert GPS tracking devices, officers were able to confirm the location of multiple cars in each operation, thereby linking the suspects to the stolen items. The case involves 19 Detroit individuals in robberies spanning 22 states over a five year timeframe.

Covert GPS Trackers are a Cost-Effective Tool for Law Enforcement
Covert GPS tracking for law enforcement and private investigators has proven time after time to be a money and time saver for police departments and private investigations companies around the world. This post will provide you with more information on how GPS tracking is a helpful, smart investment for law enforcement agencies.
How are Covert GPS Tracking Units Used by Law Enforcement and Private Investigators?
Perhaps the most common use for GPS trackers in law enforcement is covert vehicle tracking. This entails undetectably equipping a vehicle with a GPS tracking device. Often the vehicle belongs to a suspect in a crime, or is a bait vehicle designed to catch car thieves.
In addition, law enforcement agencies often use covert GPS tracking devices to track large shipments of electronics or other valuable items at risk for theft. With a small covert GPS tracker tucked into a single box within a shipment, authorities have the ability to track the shipment, and be aware of its location at all times.
How Covert Tracking Saves Money for Law Enforcement Agencies
The most significant fiscal advantage of covert GPS tracking for law enforcement is that it reduces the amount of human resources necessary to complete an operation. For example, officers may no longer be required to spend an entire shift “staking out” a vehicle to locate a suspect, or waiting on a car thief to to make his move on a bait car. Instead, officers are now able to increase patrol time, and meet other obligations, because they rely on covert GPS tracking systems and GPS tracking software to alert them only when the tracked vehicle changes locations. Then, using the software, officers can immediately begin tracking the location of the vehicle, its speed, and direction of travel.
