The Poliscan Enforcement Bar built on the Whelen Freedom IV platform captures license plates in real time across up to five lanes using Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras – and recognizes the color, make and model of vehicles by leveraging AI. The system operates whether the police vehicle is stationary or moving and automatically scans the surroundings to the right, left, and front of the vehicle using three cameras. As a result, parked cars are also inspected.
These advanced capabilities and the solution’s best in class read rate, even at high speeds, significantly reduce the time and effort required to search for and identify vehicles of interest, allowing officers to focus on other important tasks.

The data collected by the Poliscan Enforcement Bar can be instantly transmitted to the database of the user or its agency, where it is compared to records of infractions and wanted, stolen or other vehicles of interest. In the event of a match, the officers immediately receive a signal and a visual notification on their vehicle’s laptop or tablet.
This real-time information not only enables officers to respond faster and with greater consistency, but also means they are better prepared when interacting with drivers at traffic stops. Consequently, vehicle enforcement becomes more effective, efficient, and safer overall.

Another benefit of the solution is the integrated video surveillance feature. The video camera is always running, and by activating the blue- /red-light, a recording can be triggered to preserve evidence. To ensure a video is recorded when an unexpected incident occurs, a three-minute recording buffer is provided before and after activation.
Additionally, an off-site officer in the central office can see the video feed through a livestream to follow what is happening on site. This video monitoring and capture further improves the safety of the officers, the responsiveness of law enforcement, and the gathering of evidence.

Law enforcement agencies throughout the world trust in our years of experience with state-of-the-art AI-powered detection and license plate recognition. One aspect that they value highly, in addition to our reliable systems and wide-ranging support, is our data protection at the highest level. The Poliscan Enforcement Bar, that is successfully deployed by police departments worldwide, is a perfect example: data captured by the system that does not match entries in the police database is deleted immediately. Furthermore, data transmission is customer specific and linked to defined deletion deadlines.

The Poliscan Enforcement Bar technology is very compact and designed with practicality in mind. All components are integrated into the Whelen Freedom IV light bar, which is familiar to and commonly used by law enforcement, forming a single unit. The solution therefore saves costs and effort when it comes to installation, operation, and maintenance compared to systems with additional processing hardware and external ALPR and video cameras mounted on the roof or hood. What’s more, the Poliscan Enforcement Bar also saves time and effort when maintaining the patrol car - for example, by allowing it to pass through car washes without having to dismantle or realign equipment.
