Please join the Violence Reduction Network (VRN) for the webinar, “Utilizing License Plate Readers for Violence Reduction” on Wednesday, June 15, from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET. This webinar will provide law enforcement officials with an overview of automated license plate readers (ALPRs). Specifically, participants will learn how to establish a program, the development of policies for ALPR use, ALPR successes, and the development of implementation plans.
Through utilization of ALPRs, license plates are checked through an automated process and compared against databases such as the National Crime Information Center, local warrants, AMBER Alerts, and more. Many agencies’ primary purpose for implementing the use of ALPR technology is to assist with auto theft investigations, but the use of this technology has spread to other areas, including general investigations, vehicle and traffic enforcement, crime analysis, and narcotics investigations.
Presenters for this webinar include:
- Mike Sena, Director, Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC)/Northern California High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA)
- Pam Scanlon, Executive Director, Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS)
- Heather Whitton, License Plate Recognition Program Manager, Cincinnati Police Department
