Colonial Beach has implemented new technology to combat crime with the installation of automated license plate readers. The four cameras, funded by grants, capture license plates and vehicle details to assist in law enforcement efforts, such as recovering stolen cars and solving criminal cases. Flock Safety, the company behind the system, assures that the data is secure, deleted after 30 days, and not tied to personal information. The cameras are already installed at key locations, with more cameras slated for future installation in the town.
