Automatic License Plate Reader

The Clifton Police Department took delivery of a vehicle equipped with Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology today.  This technology was acquired through a joint agreement with the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office, with no financial expenditure by the City.
