Law enforcement agencies face many challenges that impede their ability to protect and serve effectively. These challenges range from day-to-day operational hurdles of staffing shortages and disparate systems to specific crime detection and investigation issues stemming from a lack of real-time intelligence. Advanced technologies driven by AI with machine learning, like the PlateRanger ALPR solution, can streamline operations and improve outcomes to help overcome these obstacles.
ShotSpotter® by SoundThinking™ is a market-leading acoustic gunshot detection solution with an above 90% market share. ShotSpotter has a 97% aggregate accuracy rate across all customers from 2019-2021. Independent reviews corroborate a false positive rate of less than half percent of all reported gunfire incidents with ShotSpotter. Gunfire alerts are published within 60 seconds, moving through trained acoustic specialists for verification and to include additional details like the number of rounds, type of gunfire, and location. The information allows a fast response by law enforcement, often saving the lives of those injured, finding evidence of the gun crime for later prosecution, and even locating suspects.
Rekor® is a leader in developing and implementing state-of-the-art roadway intelligence systems, pioneering digital infrastructures for roadways. With solid expertise in AI-enabled computer vision, Rekor has a strong presence in law enforcement globally, with thousands of customers. Rekor's digital infrastructure provides enhanced roadway intelligence and allows trillions of data points to transform into actionable intelligence for the law enforcement community.
Rekor's Scout LPR integrated into the PlateRanger ALPR solution provides a live view map with live video feeds and instant alerts. Searching historical vehicle data is also available to accelerate investigations when looking for vehicle leads. Experts on machine learning, Rekor's superior AI-led license plate reads provide strong results for hard-to-read license plates. Adverse weather, stacked lettering, sharp angles, vanity plates, and nighttime reads are no match for Rekor's AI. The LPR dashboard is intuitive, with useful data, including search capabilities and the ability to view the video clip of the license plate read.
ShotSpotter is the ears that connect the gun crime incident with the eyes of PlateRanger's ALPR. Imagine a gun crime at a busy intersection where ShotSpotter alerts to the gunfire with more specific information on the number of shots. PlateRanger's ALPR captures the suspect vehicle and possible vehicles at that intersection during a high traffic time. Investigators would typically spend a lot of time reviewing the many photo images of all those license plates and manually searching other databases.
PlateRanger's AI and machine learning search for those vehicle license plates within historical reads to find other incidents involving those vehicles or license plates. With integrations to systems like CrimeTracer, the data from the license plate reads is searched through CrimeTracer's extensive database across multiple jurisdictions. Since criminals don't bother with jurisdictional boundaries, expanding the search for a license plate read offers a higher chance of finding more investigative information quickly.
Using a much smaller list, the investigator can use those results to focus on the vehicles and plates of higher interest first, providing greater investigative capacity. The ShotSpotter and PlateRanger integration help sort through the license plate reads more quickly, and the PlateRanger video clips provide greater context to the incident, showing people entering/exiting the vehicle and finding associated vehicles and potential witnesses.
