Automated License Plate Reader

Real-Time Crime and Historical Investigations

ALPR data is a force multiplier and valuable tool to solve crimes and deter criminal activity

Every day more and more ALPR cameras are coming online, storing thousands of plates in ALPR databases. Efficient ALPR searches allow agencies to pinpoint the exact location of where a vehicle may have been or wasn’t, which can either corroborate or refute an individual’s statement as to their whereabouts. CSI’s ALPR is designed for regional interagency data sharing and currently used in Law Enforcement fusion and real-time crime centers, as well as in state, county, and local agencies.

Streamlined search process: simply enter the full or partial license plate number and click search. Results are returned in row format, alongside a map with each numbered read. Each read can be expanded to reveal additional actionable data.
