Monroe Police Adds “Modern License Plate Readers” to Prevent Crime
MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. – August 23, 2023 – Monroe Township has continually had the well-earned distinction of being among the safest towns in New Jersey, with one of the lowest crime rates.
One key reason is the township’s commitment to technology. Now, patrol officers have more tools at their disposal, as well as new ways to share critical information with partners in Middlesex County and state authorities.
This summer, 26 patrol cruisers were installed with in-car camera systems and automated license plate readers. This high-speed, computer-controlled technology automatically captures license plate numbers, and reviews them in real-time with state and regional databases.
