Asset GPS Tracking... Is this something your business should consider?

Over $4 BILLION in assets, such as trailers, landscape equipment, construction equipment, and much more are stolen every day in the United States. Less than 10% is recovered. If you've ever been a victim of a theft; you're familiar with the cost of replacing stolen items and the frustration that comes with it. More and more companies are adding an extra layer of protection by installing GPS Tracking devices on their valuable assets.

With a GPS Tracking device installed you can track your assets, in real-time. Some devices are even capable of providing tracking as fast as every -5 or -10 seconds, depending on your service plan, and accurate to within 12 inches of it's location. These service plans are surprisingly affordable with some costing less than $1 per day for real-time GPS Tracking service.

When deciding if GPS Tracking is right for you and your business; here are a few things to consider:

Does your company own expensive equipment?

Are equipment or assets left unattended overnight or for long periods of time?

Has your company suffered theft of property or equipment in the past?

Is your equipment or assets worth $1 per day for peace of mind?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, a GPS Tracking system might be just what you're looking for. Some might say; “That's why I've got insurance”. While carrying insurance on your equipment and expensive assets is a good idea, remember less than 10% is ever recovered and insurance never pays 100% of your losses. It's always better to recover than it is to replace. Replacing company equipment can be expensive and sometimes even impossible. You may even get discounts on your insurance premium by have a GPS Tracking device installed. Check with your local insurance agent for details.

The benefits of having an Asset Tracking system for your valuables are:

Receive notification immediately when your property is moved or tampered with.

Allows you to track your stolen property.

Provides the information needed for Law Enforcement to make a successful recovery.

From simple tool theft to machinery theft or unauthorized usage, Asset Tracking is the solution you're looking for.

Your chances of a successful recovery increase tremendously with GPS Tracking when compared to protecting your assets without.

What you can do to prevent Child Abduction during divorce.

Child abduction is one of the worst tactics people take during the divorce process. Sadly, in today's world, there are countless parental child abduction cases reported each year. According to the United States Department of Justice, each year 350,000 children are victims of child abduction when parents seperate or divorce. Many times, a parent abducts a child and moves to another state or even worse another country, which can create very serious problems.

When a divorce is messy and there is fear that one spouse may try to kidnap the child, it's best to be prepared. If you think your child has been abducted, call the Police immediately. If you have suspicions that your child might be abducted, consider the following:

Notify your child's school if there is a threat of child abduction by the non-custodial parent.

Make sure any teacher or babysitter is instructed that they are not to allow anyone to leave with your child unless that person has been authorized.

Speak with a divorce attorney before taking any measures to be sure you're within your legal rights.

Keep a record of any threats.

Keep an updated photo of your child each month as well as any identifying physical characteristics of your child.

Arguments over child custody during and after divorce are a commonplace. Abduction isn't what parents want to think about but it does happen. Another telling statistic is that somewhere in the United States a child goes missing every 40 seconds. A lot of these have innocent explanations such as kids visiting friends without telling their parents or a child wanders off while the parent pays for something at the mall. It is every parents nightmare but unfortunately child abduction is a reality.

Many parents have turned to the latest consumer technology available, GPS Tracking, to help keep up with their children during messy divorce proceedings or just for additional peace of mind. With the latest GPS technology, parents can enjoy an extra layer of protection by knowing their childs whereabouts at all times. Devices are small and can easily be placed covertly into a childs stroller, jacket or backpack. Some devices even notify parents when their child leaves or enters a predesignated area. For example, a GPS device can email or text message parents when their child arrives or leaves their school, home and more.

GPS Tracking Devices are not cheap and can run a parent several hundred dollars. Then theres the cost of service. Many devices require a monthly service plan. There are many choices in the GPS Tracking industry today. This probably isn't the best time to save a buck or two but the most expensive device isn't always the best product. Research the products and services available before you buy a GPS Tracking device. Your child's safety just might depend on it.

Long Arm of the Law just got longer with use of GPS Tracking.

An appeals court in Wisconsin, decided that police can use GPS tracking devices on anyone they want without getting a search warrant. Even if that person is not suspected of anything at all. The decision stemmed from a case against Michael Sveum, a Madison, WI resident who was accused of stalking. Sveum's attorney argued that his Fourth Amendment rights were violated, which protect him against unreasonable search and seizure. The courts disagreed, declaring that an officer could have used his own eyes to see Sveum and any activity the GPS tracking device reported.

Is this going to far? Did the long arm of the law just get to long? Some may argue this point. Larry Dupuis, legal director of the ACLU in Wisconsin, does. “The idea that you can go and attach anything you want to somebody else's property without any court supervision, that's wrong. Without a warrant, they can do this on anybody they want” Dupois told the Chicago Tribune.

Dupuis raises a valid point and even the appeals court has suggested that lawmakers in Wisconsin regulate the use of GPS by it's officials. Creating and mandating a chain of command policy and procedure may just be the answer. Finding a balance is the key. Attorneys, criminals and anyone on the tracking end of GPS devices are always going to argue that GPS tracking violates some kind of personal rights. This is simply because the data acquired from GPS tracking is specific and very difficult to argue.

GPS Tracking, originally used by the Military to aid in tracking troops, equipment, armed vehicles and much more, has become more affordable, easier to use and provides faster tracking than ever before. Businesses and consumers alike are taking advantage of the benefits GPS tracking has to offer. Parents of teen's monitoring driving habits and whereabouts to businesses managing fleets of service vehicles and employees, are just a couple of examples of the its latest uses. Retirement communities and family members of Alzheimer's are even turning to GPS tracking to aid in the safety of their patients. GPS technology is becoming more and more a part of our every day lives as technology continues to advance, making devices smaller, and plans becoming more affordable.
