Oneonta Common Council Approves Purchase Of Fixed License Plate Readers

You will likely see some new technology going up around Oneonta in the very near future. The common council on Tuesday – approved the purchase of new fixed license plate readers for police officers. The technology scans the police car’s surroundings and can read license plates. It then sends that information to a database, and if a license plate matches any plate placed in a database, then it notifies the officer almost instantly. The cost of the technology will be a little more than 140-thousand dollars, paid for by a grant from the state Department of Criminal Justice Services.
