Flock License Plate Readers

License plate reader cameras were installed in the 1400 block of West Pipeline Road. These readers scan vehicle license plates and will check them in computer databases for issues such as stolen vehicles or people with warrants associated with the vehicle. The information is only kept for 30 days and is then deleted. In 2022, an armed robbery occurred at a business in Hurst, and there were similar robberies in several nearby cities. Using data obtained through the license plate reader system, detectives were able to identify and locate the suspect. The suspect confessed to committing the robberies and was arrested.
