Mobile ALPR for Small Town Police Departments: Big Protection, Small Budget

Small towns face big challenges—but they don’t need big-city budgets to fight back.

From rural highways to quiet neighborhoods, law enforcement in small towns is stretched thin. One officer may cover dozens of square miles. Response time matters. And every piece of intel counts.

But while large cities deploy fleets of ALPR-equipped cruisers, many small departments are left with nothing—or just a single overpriced system gathering dust.

That’s exactly who we built Aeye4 for.

The Problem for Small Departments

Traditional ALPR systems were built for:

• Big cities with $1M+ tech budgets

• Expensive infrastructure with IT teams

• Departments that can afford $25K per unit
  

But that model excludes:

• Rural sheriffs’ offices

• Suburban towns with 5–20 vehicles

• Agencies where officers handle patrol, traffic, and investigations themselves
  

The ai4 Advantage for Small Agencies
