Chesterfield Public Safety Deploys LPR Camera System
You may have seen some new cameras along main thoroughfares in Chesterfield Township recently. The Chesterfield Public Safety Department is testing a new system from Flock Safety that employs License Plate Recognition (LPR) cameras to identify vehicles that have been stolen or involved in a crime.
If a vehicle is identified as being connected to a theft, bank robbery, or other crime within the township, the Flock Safety LPR system will help law enforcement more effectively pinpoint the direction of travel and/or general vicinity of the vehicle. Likewise, if a stolen vehicle is driven into the township – we will be able to better locate that vehicle as well.
Seven out of every 10 crimes are committed with a vehicle
License plate numbers give law enforcement the objective, actionable leads needed to solve an investigation. Using LPR cameras, detectives can pinpoint the suspect’s last known location which narrows down the search radius.
Flock Safety is able to capture vehicles traveling up to 100 MPH and up to 75 ft away—day and night. It’s public information on a public road, and it gives your local police the first investigative lead they need to solve crime.
Flock Safety LPR cameras focus solely on objective, unbiased evidence — the investigative leads your agency needs to accurately and efficiently solve crime.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Are these facial recognition cameras? NO, THESE CAMERAS DO NOT CAPTURE FACES
- Are these radars to track speeding? NO
- Are these intersection cameras used to enforced traffic violations? NO
- Are these being used to issue a ticket for speeding or running a red light? NO
- Are these “gun tracers” that detect gun shot sounds? NO

Wireless Carriers Decommissioning 3G Services
The Chesterfield Public Safety Deprtment wants the public to be aware that the wireless phone carriers are in the process of decommissioning 3G networks. This means that if you currently have a mobile or cellular device that still utilizes 3G technology, it will no longer work once the carriers shut down 3G service.
This change will typically affect older style 3G models of Tracfones, flip phones, Jitterbugs, and smartphones from 2008 and prior.
As 3G service is phased out, it will also impact your ability to dial 911 via your mobile phone in the event of an emergency. Some carriers may still allow emergency 911 calls with 3G devices, while other carriers and devices may not work at all.
If it’s unknown whether your 911-phone is a 3G model, check the phone’s IMEI serial number. (IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity) You may find the IMEI in one of the following ways:
– Under the “About” tab of your smartphone.
– Pressng *#06# on the phone’s keypad.Once you have found your device’s IMEI, enter that number at https://www.imei.info which will be provide you with details on the phone and the network it is set up for. The 3G network uses frequencies at 900Mhz or 2100Mhz.
If you have a 3G cellular device – you may want to upgrade, in order to make sure you can maintain service and the ability to dial 911 via your mobile device in the event of an emergency.
Verizon has set a shut off date of December 31, 2022 for their 3G cellular service.
AT&T has set a shut off date of February 2022 for thir 3G cellular service.You can learn more about Verizon and AT&T 3G decommissioning via the following links:
