IP ANPR, a powerful investigative solution combines automatic number plate recognition data with police intelligence and has already shown significant benefits to crime investigation at the force.
In the first six months of use at Kent Police, IP ANPR has significantly reduced the cost and time required for collection, preparation and manipulation of crime detection data. IP ANPR also assists Intelligence Analysts by significantly reducing the cost of preparing standard National Intelligence Model (NIM) analytical products.
Chief Inspector Richard Watson is Kent Police's Force Leader of ANPR. He comments: "One of the difficulties around policing is being swamped by data. IP ANPR allows us to efficiently filter through this mass of information to find exact details, saving valuable time and resources."
The tool forms part of IPL's "Intelligent Policing" suite of products developed for UK police forces. It creates seamless integration between intelligence data and maps, timelines, charts and tables created with ANPR data. IP ANPR then reveals patterns of behaviour, providing the police force with extensive investigative information.
IPL's CEO, Shaun Davey, said: "I am delighted that the deployment of IP ANPR at Kent Police has gone so well and that the tool is already yielding tangible benefits to its investigative teams. Our excellent partnership with Kent validates our core values as a supplier of IT services and we look forward to supporting the force's needs well into the future."
