1. License Plate Readers

San Bruno Examines License Plate Readers: Technology Would Assist Law Enforcement Efforts, Police Chief Says
The San Bruno, California, City Council is considering a proposal to accept a mobile license plate reader, which will be mounted on a car in the San Bruno Police Department fleet.  The device, which instantaneously scans and captures license plate data, is necessary to enhance public safety, according to a report written by the police chief.  Should the council approve accepting the license plate reader, the technology would feed into the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center.

The Fresno, California, Police Department recently implemented a new technology hub that will control a variety of high-tech gadgets and software.  The Real Time Crime Center is designed to monitor the network of cameras and sensors throughout the city. The center will field all 9-1-1 calls, and it gives officers access to any city camera—including police body and dash cameras and new traffic cameras.  High-priority 9-1-1 calls, defined as in-progress or life-threatening crimes, will now be filtered through a database to assess any possible threats an officer may encounter while responding.
