One hundred automated license plate readers (ALPR) are being deployed in the northwest San Fernando Valley to assist law enforcement in fighting crime. Funded by a $500,000 allocation from L.A. Councilmember John Lee, these cameras will track and record license plates, helping identify vehicles involved in criminal activities.
Portions of the San Fernando Valley will get an extra set of eyes to help fight crime, as 100 automated license plate readers are going up in the northwest area.Earlier this year, L.A. Councilmember John Lee allocated $500,000 to purchase, install and maintain the cameras to help combat crime in the Valley.The ALPR cameras assist law enforcement in tracking and recording license plates as they pass through, to narrow the search for vehicles tied to crimes.
Other areas in Los Angeles County use ALPR cameras to aid law enforcement, including Beverly Hills, where the system helped catch a brazen murder suspect last year. Two days after the Nov. 2023 follow-home robbery and murder of a San Dimas man in his garage, Beverly Hills police arrested 33-year-old Jerrid Joseph Powell as he drove through the city, with the ALPR camera alerting police of the suspect's vehicle as it had been tied to the killing.
