Public safety agencies asked the FCC to grant a request by the International Association of Auto Theft Investigators (IAATI) for a limited waiver of FCC rules so some anti-theft devices already installed in vehicles wouldn’t have to move to narrowband frequencies by a May 27, 2019, deadline (CD Dec 18 p10). LoJack manufactures the anti-theft devices most commonly installed in vehicles in the U.S. “The LoJack Vehicle Locator Units in our front line vehicles have assisted in the recovery of thefts of vehicles and equipment,” said the city of Cleveland Department of Public Safety (http://bit.ly/1eTJ8oK). Washington State Patrol said it recovered 10 LoJack-equipped stolen vehicles in 2012 and 12 in 2013, as of Dec. 6 (http://bit.ly/1fYO6Ns).
