With all of this Hi-Tech equipment being considered for Police Vehicles I think that the people who carry on this hobby of reviving Police Vehicles ten or fifteen years
from now are going to be spending a lot more $$$$ to find toys to make them authentic then folks are spending trying to find a Unity Spot Light, etc......
Ford Crown Vic Police Safety Concerns Prompts i-Track to Show GPS Wireless Officer and Vehicle Safety System to State Police Agency
Officials

DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 10, 2002--"i-Track," Inc. (OTCBB:ITRK)
AVL's Exclusive World Wide Distributor, announced today, that it will be showing its newly designed proprietary i-Track Chaperone(TM) Satellite vehicle safety and GPS satellite tracking system to officials of a State Police agency today. AVL engineers have modified the personal tracking system i-Track Chaperone(TM), to facilitate the demands of police to have immediate information regarding vehicle crashes and officer safety related information from the field.
The small in vehicle unit is covertly installed and is connected to both a Ford(TM) Motor Company crash sensor, which is built specifically for Crown Victoria Police vehicles, as well as a small panic button. In the event of a
vehicle crash, the unit automatically responds with an emergency email and or page or cell phone notification to the command center dispatcher. The email has a live hyper-link that shows the actual location as well as the
nature of the event. AVL has been the pioneer of event-based vehicle tracking systems worldwide for over a decade. The message text relates the type of event, i.e, "officer needs assistance" and or "crash" and simultaneously provides the location on a map that is both date and time stamped.
AVL engineers test reports have shown the response time to receive this important information is less than 15 seconds from point to point. Response times to aid in officer assistance issues will be greatly reduced, especially in those cases where the officer may be disabled or radio communication is not available. This action is made possible utilizing the newest and broadest wireless network infrastructure available today, and operates using the
digital control channel of over 70 wireless carriers across Canada, the US and Mexico.
With the utilization of the latest in Blue-tooth(TM) technology, this new device can also be used by the officer while outside the vehicle in the event of an assault or officer down scenario.
"Officer safety is a growing concern for police agencies worldwide, and we are confident that this safety device will enhance the degree of safety and response times to officers who work in an extremely hazardous environment," states Peter Fisher, i-Track CEO. "With the ever increasing
numbers of police officer assaults and police car crashes today, the time and demand for this newest wireless has arrived and we have the low cost solution available today."
