Report
Summary
This contract will provide the PPD with automatic license plate reader equipment and subscription services to the National Vehicle Location Service (NVLS) database. The service also includes the Law Enforcement Archival and Reporting Network (LEARN) database, an online analytic platform that allows license plate data and images to be aggregated and analyzed for law enforcement. LEARN provides agencies with a way to manage vehicle hotlists, query historical license plate reader data and use advanced analytics for enhanced investigations. LEARN is a hosted solution that allows data sharing and interoperability with other law enforcement agencies nationwide. Together, NVLS-LEARN subscription service helps the department reduce auto thefts and related crimes involving vehicles, increases auto theft vehicle recovery rates and increases investigative leads to reduce auto thefts and vehicles used in gateway crimes (i.e. robbery, burglary of residence).
