Police Announce Availability of Technology To Help Recover Stolen Vehicles More Quickly
Chief Ronal Serpas and representatives of LoJack Corporation announced the availability of technology in the Nashville and Middle Tennessee areas that allows law enforcement to more quickly recover stolen vehicles.
Stolen vehicles equipped with the LoJack system emit a signal that is picked up by special receivers in police cars enabling officers to take action. Thirty-six Metro police cars and one helicopter are now outfitted with the receivers. Three additional helicopters will be equipped with them in the coming weeks. The special receivers and installation of them are provided to police departments at no cost.
Nineteen Middle Tennessee law enforcement agencies are planning on using the LoJack system.
Chief Ronal Serpas, along with Chiefs and officers from surrounding law enforcement
agencies, announced the availability of the LoJack system, a new tool to combat
auto theft.
This police car, driven by Officer Robert Butler, is one of 36 Metro Police cars
equipped with Special LoJack receivers.
This police helicopter is also equipped with a receiver.
