Technology-driven themes. LPR utility depends on data, human resources. Interoperability among jurisdictions requires several elements. Data storage and retention: technology drives. Operationally driven themes. LPR funding is largely external. Major case uses for LPR: often department-specific. System structure and policies vary. Privacy concerns. Benefits and challenges. Benefits. Challenges. Chapter Seven - Agency lessons learned. Estimate and secure the proper amount of funding required. Explore grant options. Be prepared to pay for operations and maintenance. Develop policies for LPR usage, data access, and data storage. Think outside the box when deciding how to employ LPR. Enhance the benefits of LPR via cooperation with other agencies and jurisdictions. Regional cooperatives enhance LPR’s utility. Police departments need to link LPR systems to “effective” data sources. Effective implementation frequently requires cooperation with other agencies. Ensure “successful” implementation and sustainment. Be prepared and committed for a long learning curve. It helps to have an LPR “Champion”. Do media outreach to facilitate public acceptance. Plan to maximize use of LPR units. Officer training is important. Allow for officer discretion when acting on LPR hits. Plan for data storage. LPRs generate large amounts of data. Cloud-based data storage lowers costs but runs some risks. Chapter Eight – Conclusions. Major use cases. Privacy issues. Interoperability issues. Recommendations for enhanced use of LPR.
