Automated License Plate Reader Program
The Alexandria Sheriff’s Office utilizes Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology to enhance the safety and security of the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center and its surrounding complex. ALPR technology shall be used solely for official law enforcement purposes and in compliance with §2.2-5517, Code of Virginia. The ALPR system shall not be used for the purpose of interfering with individuals engaged in lawful activities or tracking individuals on the basis of the content of lawfully protected speech. ALPR systems are used to identify vehicles, not persons.
