Belle Meade, Tennessee, with a population of about 3,000, doesn’t seem like a place with a car theft problem, but it has one. For that reason and others, the police department equipped each cruiser with a GPS dart system to track fleeing vehicles.

GPS dart technology lets officers tag and follow a vehicle without a dangerous high-speed chase. The investment reflects how even small departments are turning to modern tools to combat theft while keeping the public safe.
