# Bald Knob ELSAG Grant Project Description
This one-page application narrative says [[Bald Knob Police Department]] had researched Leonardo ELSAG readers and sought them because several major highways cross the city. It is the applicant's rationale, not independent proof of the national crime statistic it repeats.
## Key takeaways
- The department describes itself as nine full-time officers when fully staffed, usually with one or two part-time officers (p. 1, "nine full-time officers and usually one to two part-time officers").
- It names US 64, US 167, State 367, and US 67/167/future I-57 as the city's traffic corridors (p. 1, "a central hub for major highways such as US Highway 64, US Highway 167, State Highway 367, and US Highway 67/167 also known as future I-57").
- It says it had been "researching the use of Leonardo ELSAG License Plate Readers" and proposed the technology for stolen vehicles, BOLOs, trafficking, and other vehicle-related investigations (p. 1).
