License plate reader cameras will be placed across the San Fernando Valley Thursday in an effort to combat crime.
This year, councilmember John Lee allocated $500,000 for the purchase, installation, and maintenance of automated license plate reader cameras.
At a news conference Thursday morning in Porter Ranch, Lee hailed the project, noting, "All of us here today know that Los Angeles is consistently seeing crime throughout the city become more brazen, more organized and more public.'' The license plate readers are being installed at various strategic locations in Lee's northwestern San Fernando Valley district, generally mounted to light poles. When the cameras detect a plate that has been linked to crimes, police are automatically notified.
