AMBER Alert Cameras

GATSO USA Introduces Industry's First AMBER Alert Photo Enforcement Camera -- Helping Police Stop Child Abductions. Camera's AMBER Alert Feature Can Drastically Increase Chances of Locating Abducted Children During Crucial First Minutes of Search.

The camera's AMBER Alert feature enables police departments to search in real time for wanted or suspect vehicles at intersections or locations within a city's network of compatible red light or speed photo enforcement cameras. When a suspect vehicle passes a camera location, the camera immediately reports the information back to the police department.

This is a very interesting application and "spin" on the use of the red light camera technology and probably will spur further adoption because it reduces the friction between a city councils and citizens. The AMBER Alert™ Program is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation agencies, and the wireless industry, to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and the safe recovery of the child.
