The system is installed in, or on active-duty police cruisers and alerts officers to stolen or expired plates, or plates registered to suspended drivers. The system can also notify officers of missing and wanted persons and vehicles associated with AMBER alerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Automated Licence Plate Recognition Technology Grant is a one-time grant to help police services strengthen roadside law enforcement efforts and improve public safety across the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Smiths Falls Police Service will use the funds to purchase 3 more devices, adding to the 1 ALPR device they already had. The service hopes to have the new devices in rotation early in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis funding allows the Smiths Falls Police Service to have an even more direct impact on our community\u2019s safety\u201d, said LFK MPP John Jordan. \u201c This technology will be a tremendous asset to police services and assist them with incidents of auto theft, finding vehicles involved in an AMBER Alert and enhance public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investment in ALPR technology supports Ontario\u2019s recent move to eliminate licence plate renewal fees and stickers for passenger vehicles, light-duty trucks, motorcycles and mopeds by allowing licence plate information to be read automatically without requiring an officer to see a physical licence sticker to validate a vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Jordan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Member of Provincial
