LIGHTHOUSE POINT
After thieves filled a U-Haul with a home's contents in June and a man in a white truck approached a child in September, Police Chief Ross Licata wished for witnesses.
This month, he'll have 26 sentries: stationary license plate scanners that will record an estimated 60,000 tags within or entering this 2.4-square-mile city each day.
"This information isn't going to solve every crime that occurs," Licata said, "but provides us with an enhanced level of intelligence and will aid our investigators to clear crimes they might not have been able to in the past."
