An Automated Licence Plate Recognition System for a police vehicle to use for traffic enforcement was made possible by contributions from Peter Smith of Peter Smith GM, Ross McDougall of McDougall Insurance, Mark Hanley owner of Hanley Corporation/Tim Hortons, Dennis McCullough owner of Canadian Tire, and Rob Haggerty president of International Truckload Services. 

John Sherratt owner of Starboard Communications donated a utility trailer used to move resources to and from incident scenes, and community events and Kerry McConkey of Market High Advertising contributed the wrap on the trailer.

Councillor Miller mentioned discussion during budget with Police Chief Gignac regarding the need for automated license recognition systems. It
was just announced this morning that a third system is in place at the Belleville Police Service. The Automated License Plate Recognition

International Truckload Services; Dennis McCullough, Canadian Tire; Mr. Sharratt of Starboard Communications; Ross McDougall, McDougall
Insurance and Financial and Peter Smith, Peter Smith Chevrolet Cadillac.
