flock safety. Let's defeat crime together.- ALPR Provides Objective Evidence While Protecting Privacy ALPR does not include facial recognition capabilities and does not capture personally identifiable information (PII). While eyewitnesses and individual officers are subject to inherent human bias, ALPR cameras capture wholly -objective images of vehicles and license plates, providing a clear and actionable investigative lead. ALPR Use Cases Include: • AMBER Alerts: License plate readers in metro Atlanta were able to find a vehicle containing a kidnapped one -year -old, who had been taken from his mother at random off the street. The child was recovered unharmed. Some ALPR systems integrate directly with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's AMBER Alert system, sending real-time alerts to officers in seconds.
