The LoJack Program

WHAT IS LOJACK?

"LoJack" is a private security system, that assists law enforcement by locating stolen vehicles. If an owner has a LoJack unit installed in their vehicle, and the car is reported stolen, the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is entered into the Washington State Patrol database. This turns the LoJack unit on in the stolen vehicle, which activates a signal that can be picked up by special tracking equipment installed in police patrol cars.

DOES SPD SUPPORT LOJACK?

The SPD currently has five patrol cars with these tracking units at each precinct, and has found that the program can be effective in recovering stolen vehicles.

The SPD wants to raise public awareness that this security system is available and that we have the equipment to support its technology, however, as LoJack is a private company, this should not be taken as an official endorsement by the SPD.
