APPROVED: CHIEF CARLOS NORIEGA
POLICY
License Plate Recognition (LPR) Technology plays an important role in public safety by
enhancing productivity, effectiveness, and police officer safety. LPR systems are able to
recognize, read and compare motor vehicle license plates against various "hot lists" much
more efficiently than Officers manually scanning and making comparisons. This
technology enables the North Bay Village Police Department to be more effective in crime
prevention and apprehension of criminals.
It is the policy of the North Bay Village Police Department to utilize License Plate
Recognition (LPR) Camera Systems in a safe, professional, and legal manner. The LPR
system will only be used to aid in the investigation of criminal and traffic violations.
