Staff Summarv
The Miami Gardens Police Department (MGPD) will begin operations in December
2007. As a part of our strategy to provide effective service and decrease the amount of
auto thefts occurring within the City of Miami Gardens (CMG), the Department will utilize
the latest technology and resources. One of the more advanced tools available to the
law enforcement community is the License Plate Reader (LPR).
The LPR is a device that attaches to a police vehicle and can read and query thousands
of license plates in a short time span. The ability to scan and make inquiries will result
in a larger amount of stolen vehicles being recovered and aid in the apprehension of
criminals who have committed crimes and had their license tags entered into a law
enforcement tracking network. J-5) CONSENT AGENDA
