How One Police Department Doubled Patrol Efficiency with ai4

This isn’t a case study—it’s a blueprint.

When a mid-sized police department in the Southwest came to us, they were stuck. Their ALPR system covered just 3 vehicles. Budget limitations meant the rest of the fleet relied on manual plate checks and dispatcher queries.

They needed more coverage. They needed smarter alerts. And they needed a solution that didn’t cost more than the vehicles themselves.

What they got was Aeye4.

The Problem

Before ai4:

• 3 ALPR-equipped cars (out of 25 patrol units)

• Manual checks led to missed plates and slower responses

• Officers distracted by multi-screen interfaces

• Alerts that came after the vehicle was already gone

• High-priced systems meant they couldn’t scale

Sound familiar?

The ai4 Deployment

In under 30 days, they deployed ai4 units across 12 patrol cars—at a price lower than what 2 traditional ALPR systems would’ve cost.

What changed?

• Real-time alerts with audible cues—no need to look away from the road

• 4-lane recognition coverage with high-speed AI-powered edge computing

• Plug-and-play setup with their existing laptops—no IT drama

• Full integration with their hot list, stored locally on each unit

And soon, they’ll be enabling voice-issued citations with our aiPartner system.

The Results

Since switching to ai4:

• Patrol coverage doubled

• Hit confirmations increased by 72%

• Officers now respond 40% faster to vehicles of interest

• Citation volumes rose without additional administrative burden

• Officer satisfaction: “Best tech we’ve used in years”

  
  

The Takeaway

Technology should support officers, not slow them down. It should scale with your budget—not be your budget.

ai4 changed the game for this department. And it’s doing the same for agencies across the country.
