Denver Police Scanning Millions of License Plates Monthly with New Cameras

The Denver Police Department (DPD) recently shared statistics showing their new license plate reader cameras scanned over 2 million vehicles in just one month. This information was made available through a new online portal designed to provide transparency about the department’s efforts in combating vehicle theft and crime.

According to Commander Paul Jimenez, the data collected by the cameras is only accessible to law enforcement agencies and is deleted after 30 days. The portal was created to offer insight into how these cameras are used, though public access to specific data remains limited.

As part of this initiative, DPD installed 93 additional cameras in June. These cameras track license plates and vehicle information, automatically alerting authorities to cars listed on stolen vehicle databases. The information is shared with 66 other law enforcement agencies across Colorado.

In the past month, the system flagged 86,069 vehicles, with 1,436 incidents resulting in active searches. On average, about 48 searches are conducted daily. Over the past four months, the system has helped lead to 142 arrests and the recovery of 99 stolen vehicles.

Despite the success of the system, concerns have been raised about privacy and transparency. The ACLU of Colorado has voiced apprehensions, urging DPD to provide more details in the portal and to allow individuals to verify if their vehicles have been recorded or matched on any hotlists. The ACLU points out that while the data is kept for 30 days, it only takes a moment to match a plate to the hotlist, raising questions about the necessity of such extensive surveillance.

The debate continues as Denver balances crime prevention with the public’s concerns over privacy.
