Dayton police deploy 37 license plate readers in four neighborhoods: See where

Dayton police cruisers already have automated license plate readers, which were activated last year.

Police said these fixed-site readers were installed after city staff reviewed and approved local neighborhood safety plans.

BELOW ARE THE APPROXIMATE LOCATIONS OF THE CAMERAS

Police previously said fixed-site cameras only would be installed in neighborhoods where they were wanted and where they could help address public safety needs.

Some community members last year criticized the Dayton Police Department for the process it used to implement this technology, saying they did not follow the city’s own requirements for adopting new surveillance technology.

Dayton police said plate readers help officers identify vehicles and plates connected to criminal activity.

The devices scan license plates and run the numbers to see if they match information in national and local crime databases.

The system alerts law enforcement when the plates could belong to potentially stolen vehicles or are associated with Amber Alerts, registered-owner warrants and terrorist watch lists, police said.

Some critics said automated plate readers’ benefits are questionable and that they can contribute to overpolicing.
