An expanded mobile application with automated number plate recognition is providing more capabilities to respond to incidents.

Western Australia Police Force (WA Police Force) is conducting faster and better-informed investigations and road policing throughout the state through the addition of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) within Motorola Solutions’ PSCore mobile application. The expanded app has been deployed in more than 80 police vehicles and operates ANPR seamlessly via Apple CarPlay, making it simple to use while negating the need for additional equipment including screens and brackets.

“Real-time ANPR data helps to ensure that front-line officers are more aware of potential risks and able to make better decisions,” said Superintendent Dean Snashall, Technology Portfolio, WA Police Force. “This latest evolution of Motorola Solutions’ PSCore application helps our officers to document incidents faster and more accurately, freeing more of their time to protect our communities.”

The PSCore app has been deployed across WA Police Force’s entire fleet of more than 6,000 mobile devices and integrates critical operational information from multiple systems, presenting it through a single, intuitive interface. The solution represents a key part of the force’s digital policing strategy to leverage technology to improve productivity, incident awareness and safety for officers and the public.

Through continued development and innovation, the PSCore mobile app has provided WA Police Force with greater capabilities to respond to a wider variety of incidents including family violence incidents. This capability has since been automated to publish family violence reports in real-time to the Department of Communities, accelerating referrals to support agencies for victims while police are in attendance at the scene.
