Criminals beware: Denver police can now scan your license plate on Federal Boulevard with a permanent new camera

The new installation on Federal cost $62,000

The city of Denver is expanding its use of a technology that scans license-plate numbers and automatically alerts police when it spots a vehicle of interest.

Denver already has 11 license-plate readers mounted in vehicles that it uses around the city, which it has operated since debut in 2015. In its first 47 days alone, police used just a single unit to read nearly a half-million plates, generating more than 9,000 “hits” on suspicious cars and resulting in 40 citations and 71 arrests.

High Street Real Estate Partners of Atlanta and Eagle Four Partners of Newport Beach, California, formed a Denver-based joint venture called HS-EF Court Place to purchase the hotel from its prior owner, for an undisclosed sum on Sept. 28.

The hotel, located at the east end of 16th Street Mall on Court Place, has 1,231 rooms and 133,000 square feet of meeting space but… It will surrender its long-held title as Colorado’s largest hotel when the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center opens just south of Denver International Airport in Aurora in December with more than 1,500 rooms and 485,000 square feet of meeting space.
