Fernandina Beach Police Department has implemented a four-camera mobile automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) system from NDI Recognition Systems (NDI-RS). Installed on one of the department’s patrol vehicles, the ALPR system will scan license plates and check the plates against “hot lists” of vehicles that are of interest to law enforcement officers, including Amber Alerts, Silver Alerts, suspended licenses, and other types of alerts.

In addition to alerting officers in the patrol unit when the cameras spot a wanted vehicle, the NDI-RS solution captures plate reads, along with location data and color pictures of each vehicle, and that information is fully searchable using NDI-RS’s Vehicle Intelligence Server and Communications Engine (VISCE) back office software.

“In addition to the assistance that NDI-RS’s solutions provide for traffic enforcement, the Fernandina Beach Police Department will be able to analyze the information captured by the ALPR solution to assist with ongoing criminal investigations,” said Christopher McKissick, Director of Sales for NDI Recognition Systems. “NDI-RS’s ALPR solutions are a strategic tool to help law enforcement protect citizens, and can help identify criminal activity as it occurs, as well as providing crucial intelligence to solve cases.” […]
