Vehicle Mounted GPS Launcher
With a StarChase Vehicle Mounted GPS Launcher, you can end vehicle pursuits more safely without the dangerous speeds or risk inherent with traditional pursuit tactics. The Vehicle Mounted GPS Launcher from StarChase has the ability to tag, track, and locate suspects with precise accuracy without compromising officer and community safety.
Built to withstand inclement weather and extreme outdoor driving conditions, the Vehicle Mounted GPS Launcher sits behind the grille of a police vehicle. When a pursuit seems likely, officers can deploy a Vehicle Mounted GPS Launcher tag from inside or outside their vehicle via their console or remote key fob.
Handheld GPS Launcher
With a Handheld GPS launcher, police officers can deploy tracking tags during events that require a tactical advantage, giving your team a mobile alternative to the Vehicle Mounted GPS Launcher. Featuring the same great features and functionality of the Vehicle Mounted GPS Launcher, the Handheld GPS Launcher provides a safer option for law enforcement to track suspects during pursuit-related events.
With an effective range of 10 to 40 feet, the Handheld GPS Launcher provides a wide range of use in various operating conditions and tactical scenarios. It is also safe for use in close quarters situations.

AppTrac-365 can be installed on any device, including mobile phones, MTUs, and laptops, and allows your officers to report critical incidents, receive custom reports, and scan and review suspect information in real-time.
GPS Tracking Tag
With GPS Tracking Tags, officers are now able to safely apprehend suspects without the need for vehicle pursuits at dangerous speeds, enabling safer outcomes by allowing officers to evaluate situations and respond tactically. GPS Tracking Tags send officers an update every three to five seconds, allowing for close surveillance and air and ground support, with tactical monitoring capabilities.
