DataLogic Helps Phoenix Police Nab Stolen Vehicle

DataLogic International, Inc., a provider of consulting services, GPS-based mobile resource management, secured mobile communications and network security, today announced they assisted the Phoenix Police Department recover a stolen vehicle that was equipped with BounceGPS.

On May 19, 2006 DataLogic International was notified by a client that one of their vehicles equipped with the BounceGPS fleet management solution had been stolen from their fleet. The BounceGPS Mobile Resource Management team went into action and quickly located the stolen vehicle using the information that is provided in real-time by BounceGPS, including location, speed, direction and ignition status.

Senior Vice President of Sales, Doug Klein stated, “Because BounceGPS provides real-time tracking capability we were able to closely monitor the location and activities of the stolen vehicle and provided the information to the Phoenix PD dispatcher. The police officers also utilized the BounceGPS real-time information to choose the place and timing of the arrest, ensuring maximum safety to the community and the arresting officers.”

The thief and two additional occupants were arrested without incident and the vehicle returned to its owner. The arrest occurred so quickly that the violators didn’t know what had happened to them. In addition, the historical information recorded by BounceGPS could provide the Phoenix Police Department with the known locations of the vehicle while it was stolen, possibly assisting with ongoing investigations.

GPS tracking is rapidly becoming an indispensable business tool that enables improved customer service, reduced operating cost, and lower risk.

BounceGPS is a real-time mobile resource management system that is discreetly implemented in cars, trucks, construction equipment and other mobile assets. Its affordability and effectiveness enables fleet managers to improve efficiency and return on assets.

Key BounceGPS capabilities include:
* Real-time vehicle location and monitoring
* Identification of unauthorized vehicle use
* Nearest vehicle to job feature to reduces drive time and fuel cost
* Historical reporting

“This incident further validates the effectiveness of our technology in protecting our clients’ mobile assets. It is rewarding to know our team and BounceGPS were able to provide such a valuable service to the Phoenix community,” Keith Moore, CEO of DataLogic International, said.
