The San Diego Police Department has begun installing and using Smart Streetlight cameras and Automated License Plate Recognition technologies, and they have already assisted in solving crimes. "Having our Smart Streetlight and ALPR technology is already making our city safer, with examples just in the first two months of operating that show their ability to help police locate and apprehend dangerous suspects more efficiently and with greater certainty," Mayor Todd Gloria said. "With the level of transparency and accountability for the use of the technologies we have in place, we're enhancing San Diegans' safety while protecting their right to privacy." SDPD's five-year agreement with Ubicquia Inc. and Flock Safety's ALPR technology, included the installation and maintenance of an initial 500 locations citywide. Since late December, more than 100 of the 500 cameras have been installed, with new installations occurring almost daily, according to SDPD's Ashley Nicholes.
