Eye In the Sky
Two Sun Prairie police officers–Scott Timm and Michael Timm–launched their own company to develop and market tracking technologies to law enforcement agencies and other customers.
Sky Shield opened for business in October and is marketing three new tracking products for monitoring the location of teens, police officers on foot, and suspects.
The personal tracker allows police departments to monitor officers once they leave their vehicles, and the covert tracker can be attached to the undercarriage or trunk of a suspect’s vehicle.
In addition, the covert tracker can also be used for monitoring pets by attaching the device to a leash.
The teen tracker is a cell phone that allows parents to monitor their son or daughter’s location and dial three numbers. Parents can access location information by logging onto the Sky Shield Web site.
