Quick Glance: San Jose Implements New Measures to Combat Crime
- Mayor Matt Mahan assisted in installing a new automatic license plate reader camera at the corner of King Road and Wilshire Boulevard to monitor the neighborhood.
- The use of ALPR technology in the city has aided in the arrest of around 200 suspects and recovery of stolen vehicles worth $2 million in the past.
- Funding for the city's network of Flock cameras came from a mix of the city's general fund, allocations from last year's budget, and a grant for combating organized retail theft.
- Despite the increasing popularity of ALPR technology among Bay Area city officials, privacy advocates remain concerned about storing data for a year in San Jose, heightening the risk of information exposure in a data breach.
