Interstate 57, Interstate 94 and Interstate 294 run through or near Calumet Park. Subjects in a mobile surveillance often leave town on these routes, so plans account for highway speeds, exits and where the work could cross into another jurisdiction. The same routes matter for locates: people who move frequently tend to follow them.
