OVERVIEW

The Wixom Police Department is using Flock Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs) to help detect and reduce crime in our community.  Flock ALPRs are stationary cameras located within Municipal - Right of Ways and are self-sufficient.  They are powered by solar panels and send image information through government-standard encrypted cell signals.  The ALPRs capture objective evidence without compromising individual privacy.  The Wixom Police Department utilizes retroactive searches to solve crimes after they have occurred.  Additionally, the Wixom Police Department utilizes real time alerting of hotlist vehicles to capture wanted criminals and missing endangered children and adults.
