Cops are giving Apple’s AirTag to citizens for free because they believe it can help solve car theft cases

As US sees a worrying increase in vehicle thefts, the New York Police Department (NYPD) has come with a new way to cut down on car thefts in the city. The department has instructed citizens to install Apple AirTag in their cars to make it easier to track their car in case of theft.

The chief of NYPD in a tweet said that “21st century calls for 21st century policing. AirTags in your car will help us recover your vehicle if it’s stolen. We’ll use our drones, our StarChase technology & good old fashion police work to safely recover your stolen car. Help us help you, get an AirTag.”
