Rancho Cordova Police Department Deploys New
Automated License Plate Recognition System
The Rancho Cordova Police Department (RCPD) has recently deployed a patrol car equipped with an automated license plate recognition system (ALPR). The ALPR cameras are integrated with the patrol car’s onboard computer-aided-dispatching (CAD) computer and automatically take photographs of every license plate within their view. The system then compares them with license plate numbers in a statewide database. This database contains license plate numbers reported as Lost, Stolen, or as a Wanted Vehicle. If a match occurs it immediately alerts the officer, displays a color photograph of the vehicle, and a close-up photograph of the license plate.
On the first day of deployment over 4,000 license plates were read. Of those, two vehicles were stopped that had license plates reported as lost or stolen, and one vehicle was recovered that had been carjacked.
The media is invited to ride-along with an officer to see this valuable new law enforcement tool in action. Those interested may contact RCPD Sergeant Pete James to schedule an appointment.
