In fast-moving investigations, incomplete information can stall momentum. When officers can’t capture a license plate in the moment, critical leads often go cold—especially in gang-related cases where vehicles and locations change quickly.
This webinar explores how agencies are using license plate recognition (ALPR) as an investigative force multiplier when traditional methods fall short. Featuring a real-world gang investigation from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, attendees will hear how detectives leveraged vehicle descriptors, imagery, and advanced search filters to identify a suspect vehicle that initially evaded identification—unlocking new intelligence and advancing the case.
Designed as a practitioner-led discussion, this session focuses on operational workflows, investigative decision-making, and lessons learned from the field. Subject matter experts will provide context on ALPR capabilities, while the featured agency shares how PlateRanger fit naturally into their investigative process and supported real results.
By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Learn how vehicle descriptors, imagery, and advanced search filters help identify suspect vehicles when license plates are missing or obscured.
- Hear firsthand how detectives overcame investigative gaps and advanced a time-sensitive gang-related case.
- Understand how ALPR supports gang units, detectives, and analysts working complex, fast-moving investigations.
- Learn how agencies incorporate ALPR into existing processes to strengthen investigations without disrupting operations.
