HOW to:

License Plate Readers
(LPR)

 

Purpose of this CBT:

1. Teach new officers how to use the License Plate

Readers installed in patrol vehicles.

2. Remind veteran officers how to use all of the

functions of this system.

 

Let?s get started

As a department, Chandler PD has invested in

LPR cameras for patrol vehicles with the goal

of having one LPR vehicle per shift per

 

 

 

 

substation.

 

SOUTH

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We currently have 5 patrol LPR vehicles, and in
the near future we will reach our goal of one

LPR vehicle per station/per shift.

(Once all the new systems are installed)

 

NOW let's answer some questions about

the use of this system.

 

 

The ?Who"

Every sworn employee can and should log into the

LPR software when driving one of the LPR vehicles.

(If you don't want to use the LPR cameras then please consider driving a different vehicle.)

 

But ?What? is it?

Our LPR program consists of specific vehicles equipped with

 

LPR cameras that have the potential to gather data on common
locations where suspects frequent, and locate stolen

vehicles/plates, arrest warrants, missing people, ect.

 

 

The ?What"

The way It works is the LPR cameras pick up the reflective

 

material on permanent license plates and takes a picture. The
computer then cross-references the digits to see if that specific
group of numbers/letters are listed as ?Hot" in anyjurisdiction, ie

all states. If so, you will get an alert on your MDCThe ?What"

These cameras only take pictures of digits on a plate and they are

 

not able to distinguish between different states. Sojust because the
computer is telling you that the digits your LPR camera just

captured are ?Hot", it doesn?t mean that the plate you ran is ?Hot."

(The digits that are ?Hot" might be related to a different plate in a different state. Also the camera can misread a License plate.)

 

The ?What"

For example: 

 

 

 

If an officer in Nebraska enters this plate as stolen, llBl: A23

and later your LPR cameras take a picture of any of the following

plates; then the system will alert you of a stolen ?Hit.?

ABC 123

COUNTY

GEORGIA 

 

 

The ?What"
CHECK

With that being said;

 

Every time you get a stolen ?Hit?, always verify the
plate by running it through MVD or asking dispatch

to run it prior to taking enforcement action.

 

 

The ?When?

Now that we know what it does, let?s talk about

When you use it.

Every time you start your shift and log into your log into the

 

LPR program.

(Many times you will be prompted to log into the LPR program when the computer is turned on.)

 

 

The ?Where"

(and using this system)

 

If the program doesn?t automatically load then Double-Click on

one of these icons on the desktop to open the LPR software.

(If neither of these icons are on your desktop then contact 

 

 

The ?Where"

(and using this system)

 

After the below screen comes up, type for your username, and

for your password.

The ?Where"

(and using this system)

 

Once logged in, double click on ?Begin Shift"

 

 

 

 

The ?Where"

(and using this system)

 

This needs to happen so all of the recently entered stolen plates
will be loaded and old info will be purged! Translation, if you

don?t do this then you will be driving around with old intel!!

 

 

 

 

The ?Where"

(and using this system)

 

After you have logged in and double clicked on ?Begin
Shift"; Nowjust drive around and start gathering data

and looking for stolen plates/vehicles and warrants.

 

 

The ?Where"

(and using this system)

At the end of shift, do not forget to double click ?End Shift."

 

 

 

 

The ?Why?

help us locate stolen vehicles, and is also a great
resource for finding people. The intel that you gather

today by driving around and capturing plates, might help

us find a suspect or solve a case tomorrow.

 

 

The ?Why?

Lastly, if you drive the LPR vehicle and have 1o-8 time, please
consider ?gridding? a neighborhood or business area to help

us gather intel to solve future cases.

(?Gridding an area" means driving up and down every street in an area to capture license plates)

(Ff it": 3'3 .

 

 

Another example of when ?Gridding? an area would be
useful; is directly after a major incident. Driving an LPR
vehicle through or around a crime scene is almost like doing a
witness/suspect ?crime scene log.? By doing this, plates can

be logged for future reference/follow-up
