Abstract
An exemplary method includes a monitoring system identifying a time period during which a vehicle equipped with a tracking device travels at least a threshold distance, determining that the tracking device fails to acquire a desired signal for a predetermined amount of time during the time period, and, in response to determining that the tracking device fails to acquire the desired signal, determining that the tracking device is potentially being interfered with during the time period by a signal jamming device.
