The FBI reported that in 2018, a motor vehicle was stolen every 42.2 seconds in the United States. All in, 748,841 motor vehicles were stolen—which resulted in a whopping 6.3-billion dollar loss. 

You have no doubt heard the disturbing story of a man breaking into Rabbi Chaim Rottenberg's home during a Hanukkah celebration in Monsey, New York in December, stabbing several victims. The story drew national attention, with people from all over the world showing their support and solidarity across social media.

As much as we stand by our technology and the services they provide to communities near and far, we're nothing without a strong team. After all, everyone knows that people don't just buy products. They invest in relationships, experiences, and companies that let them know they matter. 

For several years now, Leonardo sponsors the Leadership in the Prevention of Vehicle Crimes Award in the annual IACP Leadership Awards. Given to those who represent initiative, innovation, and excellence in law enforcement practices, the awards are a true honor for recipients and we congratulate all the winners. 

The Leonardo team had a fantastic time at this year's IACP Annual Conference and Exhibition in Chicago.

On October 26, 2019, police chiefs from around the world will gather for the 126th IACP Annual Conference and Exposition in Chicago. If you're one of the attendees, this list is for you. 

FirstNet recently tweeted out this video below. Recognize the LPR technology? It's Leonardo's ELSAG Fixed Plate Hunter. Check it out.

Thanks to help from license plate recognition technology and a smart, fast-acting police team in Greenwich, CT, a Shelton man who's been called the 'Jaws of Life' burglar and the 'ATM bandit' in headlines has been charged with quite the list of felonies.

Spotted on Twitter! On Tuesday, June 18, two suspects crashed a stolen vehicle near a CVS store in Washington, D.C. and fled the scene. The irony? Our fixed ALPR camera system stopped them in their tracks. Literally. Turns out Leonardo's equipment not only identifies stolen cars, it stops them. We're currently quoting a replacement!

While our ELSAG team could go on and on about the efficacy and benefits of LPRs, it's important for you to hear it from others too. Not only can third-party testimonials from across the U.S.—whether they're from our clients or not—give you relatable insights, they can make your conversations with others (the powers that be, perhaps) more credible and convincing.
