What is a Sticky GPS?

GPS Gum Ball or GPS GUMBALL can help eliminate or greatly reduce the risk to bystanders involved in a high speed car chase.

The GPS Gumball is a strange new weapon in the police department's strategy to end high-speed pursuits; they are adhesive darts with a GPS (global positioning system) that are fired at fleeing cars.

Once the GPS Gum Ball is fired from a patrol car, the GPS dart will stick to a fleeing car and allow squad cards to back off the chase which in turn causes the criminal to reduce speed as well.

By equipping a small number of patrol cars with the GPS Gum Ball, the compressed air launchers will fire miniature GPS receivers in a sticky compound resembling a golf ball and could save many lives.

Just last year, there were more than 600 pursuits in Los Angeles! 100,000+ pursuits were recorded nationwide! Critics have long questioned the wisdom of police pursuits because of the danger to bystanders and officers.
