The Fort Lee Police Department recently upgraded their automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) technology with Genetec's AutoVu Cloudrunner vehicle-centric investigative system. Due to Fort Lee’s proximity to Manhattan, the Fort Lee Police Department struggled to manually sort through the expansive list of license plates that passed through their area. The adoption of the new technology has allowed them to minimize their investigative time and close cases faster. 

Fort Lee Police Department Lieutenant Thomas Porto shared one such case that was benefited by the technology. After being alerted of suspicious individuals in a vehicle on housing facility property, they were able to access the nearest camera to pinpoint the location, time frame and vehicle description to match it to a stolen vehicle. The suspects were apprehended soon after.
