"We are located southeast of Los Alamos National Laboratory, in a remote area of New Mexico," commented Chief Frenier of Tesuque Tribal Police Department. "We need to know where our officers are and how we can quickly dispatch them to any incident requiring police intervention. We're also interested in using [the system] to monitor Los Alamos' hazardous waste-carrying vehicles as they pass through our vicinity to the WIPP site," added Chief Frenier.
Tesuque, N.M., Police to Deploy Vehicle Monitoring System
System tracks vehicles carrying hazardous waste and assists department's emergency response
The Tesuque, N.M., Police Department intends to use GPS tracking devices to monitor its fleet throughout the remote areas of New Mexico. They are also proposing to the Los Alamos National Laboratory the backup capability of monitoring their vehicles from the Lab to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) site with the police department's system. In addition to vehicle monitoring, the system can, in case of an emergency, notify the local police and rescue departments of the hazardous materials being shipped and critical information on how to handle a crash site. Additionally, the tracking system allows personnel at Los Alamos to check on whether a shipment arrived at it's destination on time.

Vehicles equipped with the tracking devices are monitored in real-time and alerts can be triggered whenever any of the vehicles deviate from their pre-programmed parameters.
