Cameras To Help Locate Stolen Vehicles
WEST VIRGINIA....
Through a $96,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, new cameras have been installed on the back of one vehicle each in the Huntington, Milton and Barboursville Police departments and the Cabell County Sheriff's Office that will instantly alert officers of stolen vehicles. The three cameras on each vehicle will capture up to 20 images of license plates, then send the information to an onboard daily updated laptop computer inside the cruisers. Law enforcement agencies in Cabell County are the only ones in the state to have this new technology.
