Juarez City Police Department: GPS Helps Combat the Costly Problem of Police Corruption - While Making the Streets Safer for People and Cars Alike

Overview Juarez City, Mexico's fourth largest city, was battling the costly problem of police corruption. When citizens were detained for traffic violations, police officers would often ask for cash payments in lieu of issuing tickets. In response to these problems, LinksPoint's partner company IData Wireless, S.A. de V.C created its award-winning iPatrol Wireless application suite. iPatrol relies on LinksPoint's GPS application programming interface (API) and GPS receivers to add the location dimension to the overall solution. During traffic stops, officers use the GPRS-integrated device to transmit their exact GPS location to the dispatch center, where stop locations and durations can be monitored.
