COUNTY News:

The Los Alamos Police Department (LAPD) invites the community to attend an educational session on Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR), 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 27. in Council Chambers at the Municipal Building, 1000 Central Ave.

LAPD officers and representatives from Axon Enterprise will share what an ALPR system is, how it augments police investigations and public safety goals, what the system can and cannot do, how LAPD and Axon safeguard the data, and answer questions.

ALPR systems are used all over the world to monitor vehicle license plates and alert law enforcement agencies when a flagged plate is detected. A plate can be flagged by law enforcement agencies to alert about stolen property, missing persons, or active warrants.
