Law Enforcement Applications

As a law enforcement officer I'm sure that it will come as no surprise to you that in 1999 there were 10,204,456 property crimes*. And even though $400 billion was spent in 1999 to deter theft, an abysmal 16% of all property crime amounted to an arrest.

As you know, until now law enforcement has had very little resources available to help them track down thieves and recover stolen property. But TLR has a solution. You can bait items with our miniature transmitters-as small as a paperclip-and when they're stolen you can track them down. The receive range of our transmitters is 2-30 miles on the ground and even grater distances in the air.

Because we use RF frequency, our antennas don't need to see the sky. It's important to note that our antennas don't need to be installed around your city. Our system is completely mobile. You can track a transmitter to within inches of anywhere it's hidden, regardless if it's inside a building, garage, home or even a locker.

Crime rates actually go down in areas where our tracking system is used. Literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of merchandise have been recovered at one time (see success stories) using our transmitters and receivers.

You too can have the ability to recover stolen property and apprehend thieves that you've never been able to catch before.

For the first time, you can be pro-active in the fight against crime.

Grants
Federal funds are available yearly to law enforcement agencies in the form of grants that can be used to purchase items that help prevent crime. To find out if there are current grants available through the Office of Justice, go to their website at www.usdoj.gov.

In the past, law enforcement agencies have successfully used Block Grants or technology grants to obtain our equipment.

Training
We highly recommend that you take a training session with TLR Systems at our Provo, Utah facility. The cost of training sessions are included in the cost of a Law Enforcement Package and will teach you the art of tracking. If you desire training and purchase a different package, the cost of training is $300. Contact us for a list of upcoming training sessions.

If you are unable to attend a training session, we recommend that you refer to the TLR Training Manual for instructions, or call our support line at 801-418-1443. We always recommend that you log a minimum of 100 practice tracking sessions before using the equipment in the field.

Tracking Program
  1. To begin, you will need to assess which areas are the highest crime areas in your precinct.
  2. Next, assess what items are typically being stolen. This varies from city to city and state to state.
  3. If you decide you need to install a tracking device in a vehicle or home, go to your local court system and fill out an "Application For Authorizing Installation of Tracking Devices." If you install transmitters in other items like mountain bikes or tools, you will not need this court order. If you place a transmitter in a business, the business gives you the authority to do that.
  4. The judge should respond with an "Order Authorizing Installation and Use of Mobile Tracking Devices" that will give you the authority to place transmitters in items in vehicles or homes.
  5. When you are ready to place a transmitter in an item, file with the court a "Return on Order Authorizing Installation of Tracker Device," which simply states that a mobile tracking device authorized by the Court on ___ day of _____, 20__ has been installed and/or used as authorized by the Court.
  6. When placing a transmitter you should try to avoid encasing it in steel or aluminum enclosure. If you must, try to place the antenna outside of the enclosure. You should also ground the negative lead to the battery. When the antenna is curled or kinked, it reduces transmitting distance. Keep the antenna as straight as possible.
  7. On a log sheet, write down the item and serial number, the frequency of the transmitter that has been tuned to your receiver, the location the item was placed, and the date and time.
  8. Check the item at regular intervals to see if it's been stolen. Write down the date and time of each check.
  9. When the item is stolen, tune your TLR Receiver to the frequency of the stolen transmitter.
  10. If you have an airplane or helicopter available, have one officer go up and fly in concentric circles around the area where the item was stolen. When he picks up the signal of the transmitter, he can inform an officer on the ground as to the location of the item.
  11. The officer on the ground then goes to that location and locates the item.
  12. Perform a knock-and-talk. Most often the alleged suspect will acknowledge that he has stolen the article and retrieve it for you; he assumes someone has turned him in.
  13. If the alleged suspect refuses to co-operate, obtain a Search Warrant for the premises.
If you have questions on tracking or need information about obtaining a court order, contact us.
