We’ve often blogged about the use of GPS trackers for municipalities, including GPS tracking for school districts and police departments. Here’s another story from Bergen County, NJ that provides an excellent example of how cities and towns are using GPS tracking systems to cut costs and increase efficiency.
In August, the county implemented the use of 100 GPS tracking systems in county vehicles and is considering the installation of 100 more. Since the county police department had previously installed GPS tracking units, the new GPS trackers were spread among multiple county departments, including the public works and parks departments.
County officials cite that they are pleased with the results of the GPS trackers, reporting that the GPS tracking units save time, and result in greater employee attention while driving a county vehicle.

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.
