17 More Automated License Plate Readers Installed in Police Vehicles 48 Devices in Total Targeting Disqualified Drivers , Improving Road Safety

All police vehicles in the Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan ( CTSS ) pilot are now equipped with automated licence plate readers ( ALPRs ).

SGI provided $ 800,000 to purchase 32 additional ALPRs for CTSS vehicles , in support of new impaired driving laws that took effect January 1 , 2017 . ALPRs use infrared technology to scan licence plates and alert police when the plate is linked to a stolen or unregistered vehicle , a suspended driver or a person wanted by police .

“ Automated licence plate readers allow police to quickly identify disqualified drivers and take action ,” Minister responsible for SGI Joe Hargrave said . “ Knowing police have this technology at their disposal should act as a deterrent for disqualified drivers , including people suspended for impaired driving .”

Fifteen of the ALPRs were installed late November / early December 2016 . The remaining 17 ALPRs were installed this week .

“ Unregistered vehicles , identifying potential disqualified drivers associated to a vehicle , missing persons , stolen vehicles – these are just some of the ways automated license plate readers are assisting members with their duties every day ,” RCMP Traffic Services Sgt . Al Hofland said . “ The potential exists to use the ALPRs for other investigative purposes which haven ’ t been realized yet . This is a valuable tool members use each day to help keep our roads safe .”

About a quarter of all disqualified drivers have been suspended from driving due to a conviction for impaired driving .

The CTSS pilot project dedicates 60 officers to traffic safety enforcement . These

officers target problematic roadways and intersections in the central and southeast regions of the province , with a focus on impaired driving , distracted driving and speeding .
