TechHalo Summary:
The South Dakota Highway Patrol is now using the StarChase GPS tracking system to reduce the risks of high-speed chases. The system allows troopers to fire a GPS tag onto a fleeing vehicle, enabling remote tracking instead of direct pursuit. This approach aims to improve public and officer safety during vehicle apprehensions. SDHP aircraft can also assist in monitoring suspects from the air. Officials say the technology complements traditional tactics without replacing them.
