Thousands of vehicles are stolen each year, and only a handful of them are recovered. Many people are left with a stressful problem when their vehicle is stolen. Vehicular theft is a growing problem in many areas, and people are unaware of this problem, or they think that they are immune to this problem. Vehicles are commonly stolen, and they can be very difficult to locate. This epidemic is getting solved through vehicle recovery systems that allow vehicle owners to track their vehicle using state of the art GPS tracking technologies.

People love gps tracking technology, and some of the people that use it have testified that it has helped them recover their car when it was stolen. This technology uses satellites to find the position of your car, and can help pinpoint the location of your car to within just a few feet. With the help of gps satellite tracking, police can solve missing vehicles and criminals much faster.

Cars are stolen on a regular basis, and most people are left filling out paperwork with insurance companies for the cost of their missing vehicle. People that have vehicle recovery technology can use it to make this process quick and relatively painless. Many people fear this dreadful crime, but most believe that they are immune. Car thieves regularly steal high ticket cars that are very expensive, and this type of GPS tracking can save car owners time, money, and a large amount of stress.

GPS tracking has assisted people in recovering their vehicles within hours of losing them. This technology can help people that are in a tough situation, and being able to locate their asset quickly gives them peace of mind, and they would agree that this new and expanding technology is well worth it.

Attacking Domestic Violence

(My Original Blog Post: http://www.rmtracking.com/blog/2010/06/26/attacking-domestic-violence/)
New CT Bill Aims To Keep Victims Safe

With one stroke of the pen, Governor M. Jodi Rell signed in a new law that would hopefully reduce domestic violence in Connecticut with the use of GPS tracking system technology. In response to her actions, Rell explained the pain and damage caused from domestic violence, and how it was necessary for additional appropriate steps to be made to help eliminate or at lest reduce the problem.

After a number of high profile domestic violence stories began making headlines in the West Haven and Fairfield regions earlier this year, many people in Connecticut began asking lawmakers to step-up with new and better legislation aimed specifically at the problem of domestic violence. One of those incidents involved a man who shot his wife multiple times before turning the gun on himself.  The man, Selami Ozdemir, had a history of domestic violence.

The new legislation attacks the problem of domestic violence in a variety of ways. First, the bill begins with education and teaching teenagers the dangers and warning signs surrounding domestic violence. The next step would involve the actions of a task force designed specifically to target the issue, discovering what are the triggers, causes and best ways to help victims who feel helpless in their most desperate of moments.

GPS tracking systems will also be used to monitor the movements of habitual or high-risk offenders. These people could be classified as individuals with a prior record of abuse, or who violate restraining orders. In response to a question regarding the bill, Gerald Fox explained that the tools provided by the government and legal system to help reduce domestic violence must be strengthened in order to greatly reduce the problem.

GPS monitoring units equipped to the domestic violence offenders will transmit the location of a person, vehicle or asset in real-time. It is a tool that many states have implemented to strengthen their efforts in protecting their community. GPS tracking keeps abusers accountable and retrievable at a moments notice.

Hopefully, the new legislation will usher in a new era of reduced domestic violence in the state of Connecticut and other states will follow this high-tech trend.
