Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)
We know that criminals often travel into our rural communities from surrounding counties or other parts of Nottinghamshire. For this reason, following a successful pilot in Ashfield, funding has been secured for a ring of 24-hour Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras in Bassetlaw. This will be supported by policing operations and mobile ANPR vans.
The cameras are only used to monitor activity thought to be connected with cime in the area and Ashfield saw a burglary reduction of approximately 50% on the previous year following the pilot.
Working closely with Trading Standards, the ANPR data will be used to target rogue traders and those who target the elderly and vulnerable through distraction offences.
