Indianapolis, IN, September 15, 2026 —
INDIANAPOLIS – A proposed General Order outlining the use of Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras by the Indianapolis police did not advance for a vote at a recent meeting and is slated for reconsideration next month.
The measure, which would establish guidelines for the technology, was presented but did not receive a vote during its scheduled consideration. The specific date of this meeting was not immediately available.
Automatic License Plate Readers are devices used to capture images of license plates and may store, search, and share the data they collect. The proposed General Order was intended to govern the policies and procedures surrounding their deployment and usage by law enforcement.
Details regarding the specific provisions within the proposed General Order were not provided. The reasons for the delay in voting also remain unclear.
The matter is now scheduled to be brought before the relevant body again in the upcoming month, at which time a vote may be taken.
