The primary purpose of the River Rouge Department of Public Safety Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) system is to provide a tool for use by Patrol and Criminal Investigations personnel. This tool assists in the detection and apprehension of vehicles and/or persons traveling through the jurisdiction of the River Rouge Department of Public Safety in a vehicle that has license plates that have been entered either into the National Crime Index Computer or on the River Rouge Department of Public Safety ALPR Hotlist. The ALPR system can also be utilized by the River Rouge Department of Public Safety Detectives to assist in the development of leads that can eventually identify suspects who have committed crimes within the city.
