Situated just an hour outside of Louisville, Hardin County, Kentucky is home to over 100,000 residents and encompasses the cities of Elizabethtown, Radcliff, Vine Grove, Rineyville, Cecilia, West Point, and Sonora.
In an effort to prevent and solve crime with fewer officers, law enforcement agencies across Hardin County deployed Flock Safety Falcon® LPR cameras throughout the area.
Since deploying the cameras just under a year ago, Elizabethtown Police Department, Radcliff Police Department, and Hardin County Sheriff's Office have all quickly embraced the technology.
During a recent press conference, leaders from each department came together to share the success they’ve experienced since installing the cameras.
After seeing the impact that the cameras have had on the community, Hardin County Schools announced that they will be building upon the existing network of cameras in the area by deploying 20 additional cameras across their campuses to help keep students, faculty, and facilities safe.
By installing LPR cameras throughout the school campuses, Hardin County law enforcement will be better equipped to intercept potential threats before they escalate, as the cameras act as a virtual gate around the schools.
In addition to Hardin County Schools’ investment in Flock LPR cameras, Radcliff Police Department is deploying additional cameras throughout the community.
While each individual who spoke at the press conference represents a different entity in the community, their common goal of increasing safety in Hardin County is clear. By partnering together to invest in technology, the community is paving a clear path toward a safer community, together.
