Last week the Halifax “Star”, a newspaper in Nova Scotia, Canada, had a story about a pilot program the police department is using to track missing seniors who have dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Canadian authorities claim this is the first program of its type anywhere using GPS tracking systems to find missing seniors.

GPS: Small Tracking Devices-For Tracking People

More and more cars are being equipped with GPS systems. They are a good selling tool for automobile manufacturers. Almost all car rental agencies have cars that are equipped with GPS systems. And everyone is familiar with what the GPS system will do. First designed by the government years ago, it features satellites high overhead that pinpoint a location with the receiver on the ground. They have become so sophisticated in recent years that they can pinpoint a location to within a few feet.

But now there are GPS devices that have new uses. GPS devices have been used to track people like jail parolees for years. Tracking devices are used up in Canada, for example, to track people who are stealing cars. Recently one of the offenders cut off his bracelet and threw it out the window of a car he was driving and it landed in the back seat of another stolen car providing police with their location.
