UNIVERSITY PARK, Ill., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PIPS Technology, a Federal Signal Company, today announces that its Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology is helping almost a dozen agencies in and around the Denver area to protect and serve the region.
Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) adopted the PIPS solution just over one year ago, and the system has been generating amazing results. The system has identified roughly 3,700 vehicles of interest to law enforcement. "We're monitoring a number of different databases of interest including Colorado Crime Information Center, Colorado Department of Revenue, and sexual predators to name a few. This one system is resulting in daily arrests of individuals that pose a threat to our community. The first system has been so valuable, we are now in the process of investing in an additional number of units," states Captain Mark Fisher of ACSO.
Neighboring Douglas County has also been impressed with the PIPS system. Having used the system for almost two months, the cars that are equipped with the system have scanned over 43,000 plates and have identified just over 250 vehicles of interest.
These agencies, and others around Denver, are working with each other to enable the data sharing functionality available in the PIPS Back Office System Software (BOSS). Craig Cantrell, Vice President and General Manager of PIPS, shares "Harnessing the investigative potential of license plate data is key to realizing the full potential of ALPR, as it's no longer just about finding stolen vehicles. I'm proud to say that our ALPR system coupled with the investigative power of our BOSS back office solution has been a vital tool in solving robberies, homicides, gang violence, and many other crimes around the country. Due to the many successes we are seeing at agencies large and small, the PIPS ALPR system is quickly becoming one of those 'must-have tools' for law enforcement."
