CLEVELAND — A camera never blinks, and that’s proving to be beneficial for some police departments in solving and stopping crime.
More than 400 Ohio law enforcement agencies, including Mentor and Rocky River, have invested in the Flock Safety System. The cameras have license plate reading technology that can identify cars connected to missing people, stolen vehicles or those wanted in connection to criminal activity. “We would have known nothing about it, they would have driven through the city,” said Valley. Instead, they were sent home to their parents.
“Instead of chasing them until they crash, we can now get a good license plate on the car that we’re chasing, which usually we have prior to the beginning of the chase and through this network of license plate readers we’re able to see where the car has been and goes,” said Lichman.“In the last three years all of the cars we’ve had stolen from Rocky River, we’ve recovered all but one,” he added.
