If your vehicle is stolen or associated with a crime, the Sturgeon Bay Police Department could have a new tool in their arsenal to find you.

When it meets on Tuesday, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council is considering building a license plate reader camera system within city limits. The system could capture computer-readable images of license plates and vehicles to assist in their investigations. According to the International Association of Chiefs of Police, upwards of 70 percent of crimes involve license plates, and they are often the top piece of evidence the police can use to make an arrest. Not only would it help the police identify stolen vehicles and those associated with a known suspect, but the camera system could also be used to help find Silver Alert suspects. The contract with the company Flock Safety would be $31,500 for installation and an annual charge of $30,000 per year. That installation amount is actually less than what was budgeted by the city.

The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will also discuss repairs to its Safeboat and a contract associated with the West Waterfront Promenade before going into a closed session to discuss the purchase of some property located on Division Road. Tuesday’s meeting begins at 6 p.m. inside the council’s Sturgeon Bay City Hall chambers.
