You’ve probably heard a lot about Automated License Plate Reader (ALPRs), but have you ever wondered what an officer sees when we use one?

We wanted to show you a real ALPR report so you can see exactly what this tool provides. We’ve redacted the license plate, address of camera, and the requesting officer’s name, but everything else is untouched.

Here’s what an ALPR report includes:
• A photo of the vehicle’s license plate as it passed the camera
• A short description of the vehicle
• The exact time and location of that scan

And here’s what it does NOT include:
• No video
• No personal information
• No driver details
• No extra data about the vehicle

ALPRs can only be accessed with a case number associated with a criminal investigation as per state law. They simply give us a snapshot in time—nothing more. They’re not live trackers or surveillance feeds. They’re one of many tools we use to help locate stolen vehicles, support investigations, and keep our community safe.

ALPR technology is a valuable tool for keeping our community safe. It has helped officers and detectives locate many stolen vehicles, violent felons, and hit-and-run suspects.

We understand the concerns being raised by our community, and support guardrails to protect privacy. Anyone who violates those guardrails should be held accountable as spelled out in state law.

A Leash That Leads to Safer Spaces

Off‑leash dog incidents are on the rise, and our officers are stepping in with a proactive solution: slip leashes. In partnership with Ruff Haven Crisis Sheltering, we’re equipping officers with quick‑grab leads they can offer to owners on the spot. It’s a small gesture that helps prevent scares, keeps pets safe, and supports calmer, safer public spaces for everyone.
