Universities Using GPS Devices to Track Master Keys

University and college administrators are selecting GPS tracking devices to improve campus security.
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)Feb 26, 2008 – Olney, MD- As the issue of campus security remains at the top of the agendas of many educational institutions, some school administrators are turning to global positioning systems as a cost-effective alternative for keeping track of their master keys, the keys issued to security and other staff for accessing multiple areas.

Whether stolen or simply misplaced, a missing master key on a college campus is a worrisome event that sends administrators and security staff into a desperate search to quickly locate the key, or face a costly campaign of replacing numerous locks, which can cost thousands of dollars.

Compact GPS tracking devices, about the size of a small beeper, are now being used to continuously monitor the location of master keys and find them when they are lost. The tracking devices attach to any key ring and use GPS satellite technology to report their position from anywhere on the planet. Then, using readily available mapping software, administrators can receive detailed location information on the GPS device’s location- and the item it is attached to.

Ken Barksdale, owner of Global Tracking Group, a Maryland firm specializing in GPS tracking, reports that some of his firm’s newest clients are colleges and universities reviewing their security procedures. “Due to recent tragedies, college campuses everywhere are rethinking campus safety. We represent an affordable option that offers peace of mind for parents, students and officials,” said Barksdale. Global Tracking Group’s UBI-4000 is a compact GPS tracking device often used for security applications.

In addition, Barksdale said colleges are using GPS tracking to monitor security staff and campus vehicles. “This is a fool-proof way of knowing without a doubt where security staff is patrolling at all times,” he said.

Global Tracking Group is located in Olney, Maryland. For more information about the UBI–4000 GPS tracking system, or suggestions on ways to improve your home or business security with the use of affordable GPS equipment, please call 1.800.774.9808 or visit www.globaltrackinggroup.com.
