Stratford Police say they will be applying for a grant to have automatic license plate readers in a handful of their cruisers.
While Ontario removed the requirement to pay for license plate stickers, it is still a requirement to renew but at no cost.
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation will soon have a call for police forces in the province to send in grant applications of a $42 million investment to help have police cars with the technology needed to find invalid license plates.
Stratford currently has 1 vehicle equipment with an automatic reader.
