License Plate Readers Training

License plate reader technology has become an essential investigative tool for agencies of all sizes. This category focuses on training that helps officers understand how LPR systems work, how data is captured and stored, and how to use that information responsibly. Officers learn how to apply LPR hits to real cases, from locating stolen vehicles to tracking violent offenders.

Courses explore data interpretation, deployment strategies, and the legal boundaries surrounding LPR use. Instructors clarify retention policies, privacy considerations, and the correct way to articulate LPR-based leads in reports and affidavits. Officers also learn how to troubleshoot system errors and verify hits before taking enforcement action.

When used correctly, LPR systems dramatically enhance an agency’s situational awareness and investigative reach. This category gives officers the practical knowledge needed to use the technology effectively, ethically, and within policy while supporting daily patrol and major investigations.
