This past week, Leonardo hosted an international training event at our Greensboro headquarters specifically for our customers who hail from around the world. In addition to providing an overview of our ELSAG ALPR technology and our law enforcement and public safety missions across the U.S., guests received training on the use and installation of a variety of ALPR solutions. In this hands-on training event, end-users learned how ALPR systems create efficiencies for law enforcement agencies using high-speed reading and processing of license plates.

An automatic license plate recognition system is a big investment for sure, but the technology essentially pays for itself when you consider its efficacy in recovering stolen cars. That's what Detective Sal Aprile of Lehigh County in Pennsylvania said in a quick one-on-one conversation with us about his agency's own use of LPRs, which they acquired in 2006-2007. Take a look.

The Alert

After years of research and development, we are proud to announce the release of two innovative technology solutions: the ELSAG Make,Type and Color Recognition software (MTC) and the ELSAG Cloud Storage Solution (ECSS).  

Both products are now available to ELSAG ALPR users.

When it comes to license plate data, you have to follow your local compliance regulations, which are designed to to ensure users have authorization and a legitimate purpose for accessing the ALPR data.

License plate reader software and hardware are powerful technology solutions, but to get the most out of them you need the right customer and tech support.

ALPR technology is one of the most important tools in an officer’s tool belt. That’s why it’s critical to work with an ALPR system provider that refines product features based on officer feedback.

ALPR systems are an invaluable resource in helping to deter crime and keep communities safe. This technology is gaining popularity as officers become more familiar with its capabilities.

Grant funding is a helpful avenue for law enforcement agencies to implement the latest technologies that aid in deterring crime and protecting the community. However, with agencies outnumbering available grants, it’s critical to know the keys to obtaining grant funding.

With approximately 70% of all crimes connected to a vehicle, today’s law enforcement agencies need a way to increase real-time knowledge of criminal activity while ensuring officers are safe at all times.
