USA Department of Homeland Security uses Iridium

The USA Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Detention and Removal (DRO) has selected Iridium-based vehicle tracking and mobile resource management systems for deployment under a major initiative to optimize efficiency.

The tracking equipment and hosted Web software will improve asset readiness, enhance mission effectiveness, reduce fleet costs and coordinate compliance with Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR). DRO is installing in its vehicles a GPS tracking device, which transmits position, direction and speed and other telematic data for user-specified events and reporting. DRO promotes public safety and national security by ensuring the departure of all removable aliens from the U.S. through the fair and effective enforcement of the nation's immigration laws.
