WEBINAR: Introducing PlateRanger - New ALPR from SoundThinking
In this webinar, you'll learn how PlateRanger™ leverages the power of AI and ML to deliver unmatched accuracy and efficiency. PlateRanger™ provides real-time insights that capture crucial moments around criminal events.
Rekor Systems® and SoundThinking, Inc.™ Host Joint Webinar to Introduce PlateRanger™
This integrated solution merges ShotSpotter® gunshot detection capabilities with Rekor® advanced vehicle and license plate recognition technology.
The webinar, hosted by Rekor Systems® and SoundThinking, Inc.™, explored law enforcement agencies’ challenges and introduced a new solution—PlateRanger™, powered by Rekor®. The panelists, Gio Lepore from Rekor Systems® and David Tawadras from SoundThinking™, highlighted key issues PlateRanger™ addresses:
- Staffing shortages impacting thorough investigations and suspect location
- Siloed systems leading to fragmented data and inefficient manual searches
- Need for real-time intelligence to improve response times and situational awareness
The panelists explained how ShotSpotter® and Rekor® work together in PlateRanger™. In short, ShotSpotter detects gunfire incidents, while Rekor uses advanced vehicle and license plate recognition technology to track the vehicles involved. Without vehicle tracking, officers have limited leads, and without ShotSpotter, officers lack additional context for criminal events.
ShotSpotter®
ShotSpotter® is a market leader with a 97% aggregate accuracy rate and a very low false positive rate, serving over 170 cities. It provides alerts within 60 seconds of a gunshot, including critical details such as the number of rounds, location, and type of gunfire.
Rekor Scout®
Rekor Scout® provides a powerful, user-friendly, AI-driven software solution for public safety. It delivers industry-leading accuracy, real-time alerting, sophisticated investigative tools, searchable databases, individual and shared hotlists, flexible data retention, and more. Using proprietary AI algorithms, Rekor Scout® enables accurate vehicle and license plate recognition on nearly any IP, traffic, or security camera, extracting license plate numbers, state of origin, vehicle make, model, color, direction of travel, vehicle type, and more.
Combining ShotSpotter® and Rekor Scout® to Create PlateRanger™
Integrating these two technologies streamlines investigations, improves operational efficiency, and provides real-time actionable intelligence without the need for additional resources. PlateRanger™ allows law enforcement agencies to enhance their investigative capabilities for gun-related incidents, addressing both immediate response and long-term investigative needs.
During the webinar, the panelists highlighted a case study from Patrol Captain Paul Grech of Bridgeport, CT Police Department:
"We've been using ShotSpotter successfully for years to improve our response time to shootings and save lives. The integration with PlateRanger™ provides even better investigative insight, helping us solve crimes more efficiently and support our mission to protect and serve the community.”
This success story proves the value of real-time alerts and the effectiveness of using Rekor® technology in partnership with ShotSpotter®.
