]]> Safety Vision global business development manager Chuck Garrett participated in the Corpus Christi Law Enforcement Fishing Tournament (CCLEFT) August 7th-8th, 2009 held at Corpus Christi’s Briscoe King Pavilion Center.

Safety Vision was a gold sponsor of the event that benefits the CCLEFT Law Enforcement Scholarship Fund and other local charities. At the event were 600 attendees including 353 participating anglers.

Safety Vision collaborated with CCLEFT organizers to create a special category called Law Enforcement Personnel Only; Safety Vision donated prize money and three All Star/Abu Garcia fishing rod and reel combos for this category, created with law enforcement professionals in mind.

“We wanted to support law enforcement by helping fund the education of future law enforcement professionals,” says Chuck. “Safety Vision participated in CCLEFT due to our commitment to protect the lives and property of the public and public safety professionals with digital video recording systems.”

Seems like these anglers put their tackle and rod to good use! Click here for a catch of pictures from the tournament posted on Flickr.

]]> PIPS Technology recently stopped by Safety Vision headquarters to demonstrate their automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) technology for the law enforcement industry. Tony Burns, PIPS Technology senior account manager, took several Safety Visionaries on a ride-along in the PIPS police car, where we witnessed firsthand the usage and benefits of ALPR for law enforcement.  As we learned, ALPR is used for:

  • Stolen vehicle recovery
  • Identification of felons or wanted individuals
  • Monitoring school and playground perimeters for sexual predators
  • Amber Alerts
  • Identification of delinquent citations for revenue enforcement
  • BOLO (Be on look out) suspects
  • Crime scene intelligence and surveillance
  • Monitoring of gang activity and locations
  • Drug enforcement

The ALPR system captures and stores all license plates that the police vehicle passes while driving. Picking up thousands of license plates per shift, the system can capture plates with vehicle speeds up to 160 miles per hour. Providing historical data associated with license plates, the system alerts officers of potentially dangerous situations and gives a background for the officer to go by. ALPR is also used heavily for identifying those with outstanding traffic violations.

Used in conjunction with police car video systems, ALPR is the new rage in mobile law enforcement technology solutions. Those who are running from the law, watch out…!

Check out PIPS Technology’s Web site for more information on ALPR.
