About the Birddog
The Birddog was originally released by AID in the 1970s as a radio
frequency (RF)-enabled tracking system. The Birddog ultimately became the
most widely used covert tracking device by local and federal law
enforcement agencies. LEA re-launched the Birddog in the first quarter of
2007, when the company introduced an all-new tracking device based on
advanced GPS technology.
