Title
Flock LPR Camera - Purchase
History
The Orland Park Police Department currently utilizes two (2) License Plate Reader Cameras (LPR) that have proven highly effective in providing real-time vehicle identification, supporting law enforcement and security operations, and improving overall situational awareness. The existing units have been instrumental in assisting investigations in the identification of vehicles involved in criminal or suspicious activity.
These cameras capture vehicle information such as license plates, make and model of vehicle, and specific characteristics, while operating within established privacy and data retention policies. As our community grows, there is an increased need to expand coverage. These cameras would be deployed to ingress and egress locations within the village based on crime data and investigative needs.
In addition, the selected locations are areas where the village does not have access to power or a line of sight to any of our towers for transmission of our in-house camera system, making these a highly cost-effective alternative.
