In Indianapolis the technology helped track a car that was stolen by a 14-year-old boy on Monday. The car was equipped with a tracking device and officers were behind the suspect within minutes.
"One of the things that was integral in this particular pursuit was the fact that GPS was involved. The vehicle had a GPS tracking system. We are finding that it can be a benefit," Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer Chris Wilburn said.
Many cars come standard with GPS tracking devices that can easily be activated to locate a car in an emergency.
Several insurance companies offer GPS services, but it can be purchased online for as little as $25.
"We’re even finding too that some of the technologies in your iPhone like Track my iPhone can be of aid to us," Wilburn said.
