Advanced GPS tracking and surveillance

Wilcox & Associates utilizes some of the most advanced GPS tracking devices available in the industry. A GPS tracking device is a device that uses the Global Positioning System to determine the location of a vehicle, person, or other asset. The device will record its position in regular intervals. The recorded location data can be stored within the tracking unit, or it may be transmitted to a central location database, or internet connected computer, using a cellular (GPRS), radio, or satellite modem embedded in the unit. This allows the location to be displayed against a mapping backdrop either in real-time or when analyzing the track later, using customized software.

The use of a GPS tracking device is an important resource which allows private investigators to gain valuable information during mobile surveillance when someone is unable to be effectively followed without the risk of being compromised. Though GPS is a valuable tool, it is not a replacement for experience and training. It does provide our investigators with detailed location histories. This history allows an investigator to view the activities that occurred while the GPS unit was in place.

It can be used to plan an investigative strategy, establish a travel pattern, or to help you keep track of your children, spouse or employees. The use of a GPS tracking device can further be a cost savings measure for the client and enables the private investigator to monitor someone’s whereabouts without physically conducting surveillance and billing at the approved hourly rate.
