Police in some states (Texas, New Jersey, New York, etc.) have begun using GPS darts to track vehicles during dangerous pursuits. These projectiles are fired using compressed air, so it won’t cause injury or damage to vehicles. Dispatch can then track the darts for hours after they’re shot and even if the suspects stop.
Once the tracker is fired from the front of the police vehicle, suspects will have a hard time removing the dart, as its adhesive material was designed to withstand the elements. Officers can also deploy the dart from the outside of their vehicle with a remote in case a driver suddenly takes off during a traffic stop.

Police pursuits are very much discouraged. The statistics just speak for themselves … suspects are getting hurt, officers are getting hurt, and even members of the public are getting killed and injured in these pursuits,” said Stuart Cameron, Old Westbury Police Chief.
