License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology, which utilizes cameras and software to read license plates, has been used since the late ’70s in the United Kingdom. Many municipalities began using it in the ’90s.
LPR technology is used by multiple departments at the City in varying ways. Parking Services originally tapped into the technology in 2015.
