Mr. Rudenberg,

I received your FOIA request, below, today. The Department of Transportation does not use Automated License Plate Recognition technology. My understanding is that the ALPR's owned by the State of Delaware all belong to Delaware State Police.

By copy of this email, I am forwarding your request to Ms. Kimberly Chandler, Media and Community Relations Coordinator for Safety and Homeland Security, to address your request on behalf of DSP.

Thank you,

Donna
