3M’s new ALPR software extends reach, delivers<br />
real-time actionable intelligence<br />
ST. PAUL‚ Minn. – (<strong>August</strong> 4‚ 2016)<br />
– In order to create and maintain<br />
safe communities, law enforcement<br />
agencies are increasingly relying on<br />
technology. A new tool for officers<br />
is now available; 3M is proud to introduce<br />
3M Plate Alert Analytical<br />
ALPR Software, a next-generation<br />
ALPR software which uses data fusion<br />
analytics and proactive alerts to<br />
provide more answers and the confidence<br />
to act.<br />
Designed to be fast, powerful and<br />
intuitive, 3M Plate Alert Software<br />
allows officers to take action, faster.<br />
Collaborating with Human Factors<br />
Scientists to ensure the software<br />
can be learned quickly and used<br />
efficiently, Plate Alert Software features<br />
the latest user-centered design<br />
methods to optimize interfaces and<br />
usability. This makes it easier to set<br />
up, search, get alerts and find leads.<br />
3M also partnered with law enforcement<br />
agencies to offer the most<br />
in-demand features. The result is an<br />
ALPR software that is powerful and<br />
easy to use, so officers spend less<br />
time clicking and more time following<br />
up on leads.<br />
Going beyond typical ALPR<br />
software, which notifies users<br />
when a plate read matches a watch<br />
list, 3M’s Plate Alert Software features<br />
pattern management alerts.<br />
Designed to proactively provide<br />
relevant information and actionable<br />
insights in near real-time, pattern<br />
alerts ensure almost all of the work<br />
is done before an officer even looks<br />
at the data. Notifications are sent<br />
when the system detects activity<br />
matching a pre-defined pattern that<br />
may suggest illicit activity.<br />
“Plate Alert Software uncovers<br />
relevant connections and provides<br />
a clear view of how seemingly unrelated<br />
people, places, things and<br />
events are connected, and how they<br />
impact each other,” said Seth Stores,<br />
global business manager at 3M. “By<br />
providing a more complete, informative<br />
and accurate picture, officers<br />
35<br />
can spot patterns faster and take<br />
action to keep their communities<br />
safe.”<br />
3M Plate Alert Analytical ALPR<br />
Software is the first ALPR software<br />
powered by data fusion analytics.<br />
Plate Alert Software can compile<br />
ALPR data with data from various<br />
sources, such as 911 calls, pawn<br />
data, police reports, motor vehicle<br />
data and more. It can then almost<br />
instantly find connections between<br />
data points to deliver solid, meaningful<br />
leads. By linking and simultaneously<br />
evaluating numerous common<br />
characteristics across multiple<br />
data sources, Plate Alert Software<br />
can uncover unexpected relationships<br />
and associations. This means<br />
law enforcements agencies can get<br />
new answers and leads from their<br />
data. Using sophisticated secondorder<br />
analysis, data fusion analytics<br />
deliver more actionable intelligence<br />
than conventional ALPR software,<br />
which rely on first-order analysis.<br />
Plate Alert Software also has increased<br />
data privacy measures.<br />
Mandatory controls ensure data is<br />
only accessed for legitimate purposes<br />
by customer chosen individu-<br />
