Davidson County was divided into four equal quadrants based on population (2020 Census). A density layer for 2021-2022 Part I UCR Violent Crime Incidents (Homicide, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault) was then created. The police department then ensured all sites were located on major and collector streets as defined in the Nashville Next Major and Collector Street Plan.
Only 24 locations are needed to evaluate the License Plate Reader technology during the pilot program. Based upon the above information, 24 locations were selected equally over the four (4) quadrants resulting in six (6) per quadrant. Each location had to be able to accommodate a strong cellular signal and be operated by solar power.
