Automatic incident creation from ANPR activations
Every day, around 60 million ANPR reads are generated across the UK, ranging from minor offences through to high-risk targets and wanted persons.
NEC Robotic Process Automation (RPA) connects ANPR systems with our integrated control room solution, ControlWorks, automatically creating incidents when vehicles of interest are detected, without requiring manual rekeying or copying and pasting. This ensures that police control room resources are directed to the highest-risk road users, maximising operational effectiveness and public safety impact.
Automated incident creation, built for control rooms
Automated incident creation, built for control rooms
With high ANPR alert volumes, police forces are unable to respond to every notification. Control rooms must focus on the most serious incidents, based on intelligence, risk and operational priorities. In a busy control room, alerts can be missed or response delayed.
NEC Automate ANPR:
- Automatically creates a control room incident from ANPR alerts
- Transfers data accurately without manual intervention
- Automatically searches supporting systems, such as the force’s Records Management System
- Presents consistent, reliable information to control room operators
The result is timely and consistent dispatcher response to high-risk vehicles, reducing response times and mitigating the risk of missed detections.
