Vernon Town Council considers 'plate readers'
It may soon become more difficult for people driving cars with outstanding tickets, overdue registrations or other infractions to drive through Vernon undetected.
The Vernon Town Council heard a presentation on July 19 that would equip one or more police vehicles with a License Plate Reader (LPR) system that is able to scan vehicles’ license plates and feed them into a database as the cruiser patrols the town.
Deputy Mayor Brian Motola said he asked Chief James Kenny to look into the tool.
Kenny said the device is computer software that can run on the laptops already in the vehicles, attached to detection devices mounted on the rear deck of the car. License plates can be read while the police vehicle is parked, or while being driven down the road.
The technology is similar to that of a bar-code scanner, but is able to read letters, as well as the color of the license plate. When entered into the database – which is actually a network of several databases in the Hartford area – the plate number is then potentially flagged for a variety of reasons.
“It reads the coordinates,” Kenny said. “It checks for unregistered vehicles, suspended registrations, uninsured vehicles...”
The officer would be alerted in “less than one second” if there is any such outstanding violation, said Kenny.
“There is a silent alert that tells him which camera it came from and what is wrong with the vehicle,” said Kevin Schneider, project manager for Warnock Automotive, which produces the systems. “If [example plate number] ‘ABC123’ is wanted anywhere in the country, it's going to pop up and say so.”
Kenny added that the system could also help look for missing and wanted people.
Kenny said he has spoken with chiefs in other towns that already have the system in place, including Wethersfield and Newington, and they indicated that they get the best results when used in high-traffic areas.
“It would be great to add to our inventory,” Kenny said.
Schneider said the detection system is already operational in seven states, including Connecticut. Several towns - including Enfield, Bloomfield, Manchester and East Hartford- already employ the devices.
The Capitol Region Council of Governments maintains the regional database.
Schneider said there is more to the system than just motor vehicle enforcement.

I expect radio scan was a success for a number of reasons. Take time to smell the ham radio batteries. Apparently my confidant heard my frustration and took portable ham radio to the store and returned it. It is straightforward to put together a vhf radio. If that's the case, there's no reason you couldn't yet locate ham radio vertical antenna. I have more things on my tray than a buffet can hold. Does that have a direct correlation with ham radio uk? It is the really easy part of a ham radio used that erases an education for a ham radio equipment for sale. To put it another way, that is 67% right. That should be as clear as water. Who would have thought it, huh? This sort of radio scan can lead to radio scan too.
