I am a patrol sergeant with a large sheriff's department in northern California. I use my StreetPilot III every night I work. When I get a
hot call, I just enter the address into the StreetPilot, and it does the rest. No more looking for street signs or addresses in the dark.
StreetPilot clearly tells me which direction to drive and advises when I am approaching my destination.
Knowing your location during a high-speed pursuit is no easy task, especially when zigzagging through unfamiliar streets in the dark.
The StreetPilot III makes this possible at all times. You never know when you will need help. If you do not know your location, your beat
partners may not find you in time. This can be the difference between life and death.
Recently I was in pursuit of an armed suspect who crashed and fled on foot into a residential area. Using my Garmin GPS, I was quickly
able to get a view of the surrounding streets and addresses in the area in question. This helped me direct my officers to locations as I set
up the perimeter to keep the suspect pinned down. The suspect was only able to get through four backyards before he was surrounded. We
kept him detained in this tight perimeter until the SWAT team arrived and took him into custody without a single shot fired. Once the
incident was over, the sergeant in charge of the Command Post saw my Garmin GPS unit and was so impressed that he made a recommendation
to the department to order Garmin GPS units for his team. I cannot believe all the years I worked without such a valuable tool. The
StreetPilot III should be standard equipment in every police vehicle in America.
