About HEAT
From 1985 through 2004, HEAT tips led
to the recovery of $40 million in
stolen property and the prosecutions of 84 auto theft rings, 216
chop shops,
140 carjackings and 55 fraudulent car thefts, among other crimes. Rewards of
up to
$10,000 are issued if a tip results in the arrest and binding over for
trial of a suspected theft
ring or chop shop operators.
Pro Squared Inc is a subsidiary of The Project Group focused on
closed loop RFID solutions. "The adoption of these
new policies is an important first step by
law enforcement agencies
nationwide, and will help the officers within those agencies to
determine
when the use of these devices is appropriate in order to
limit excessive use and abuse of the technology
as well as to promote
public trust," said Stethem. I also
believe that independent medical research
and testing at all levels
should be continued on these devices in order to have them properly
assessed
and standardized for public safety," continued Stethem.squads misconduct
In 2003, 53,307 vehicles were reported stolen
in Michigan, compared with
