Successful ANPR Police Road Block

- Posted: 09/10/2008

Jacobs recently undertook our first Multi Agency Operation road block exercise in order to identify road traffic warrant defaulters.

The exercise took place in Chorley, Lancashire and led to a number of warrants being paid in full by drivers who where pulled over by the Police. 

Dave Cornes (Partner) said "By using the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology we are able to identify vehicle registrations who have unpaid debts.  Other agencies who took part in the exercise were DVLA, DWP and Immigration. and with the help of the Police we are able to discuss debts with motorists and, over the 2 days, we achieved good results."

He concluded "Due to the success we will be taking part in future exercises with the Police and other agencies across Lancashire over the coming months."

Other agencies included the DVLA, DWP and Immigration Officials.
