MOSES LAKE, WASH. (AP) – Moses Lake Police will use cannons to help track fleeing suspects.
KXLY reports they will use the cannons to launch a sticky GPS unit onto a car running away from police, which should save them from messy car chases.
The tracking would happen before they make any attempt to stop the vehicle.
Dispatchers can get real-time information from the tracker.
Police say the cannons will be paired with patrol cars equipped with automatic license plate readers to look for stolen cars.
