Report types
We will list all unique reports related to a vehicle that we received from the platforms we monitor, as far as possible all personal data will have been removed from the lookout by our bots that captured the lookout.
NP Tracker
The NP Tracker report provides a list of lookouts for a specific vehicle. These lookouts are generated based on community inputs and are posted to monitored groups. This report serves as a helpful tool to identify trends related to a specific registration number.
For example, if a vehicle is involved in a break-in in Kempton Park and a lookout is posted on a patroller group in Kempton Park, if the same vehicle is spotted and tested by a member in Centurion three weeks later, they will receive the original lookout to gain a better understanding of the vehicle's history.
If there are no registered records or lookouts for a specific vehicle, the system will respond with a message stating "Numberplate NOT found." Users have the option to register a lookout with as much information as possible to assist other members if the vehicle is tested by someone else.
NPS-VCR
NPS-VCR is a report used to determine and present vehicle make, model, partial VIN, and engine numbers. This information is obtained through our network of license disk scanners and external sources. Discrepancies can be reported and are corrected through a manual investigation. To review and report discrepancies, please visit /review.
Please note that in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, vehicle number plates are reused. This may result in incorrect vehicle details for these vehicles, as the previously registered vehicle details may still be on record.
NPS-LAW
A report displaying the status of a tested vehicle obtained from the national law enforcement database. It indicates whether the vehicle has been listed in any crimes.
This report is only accessible to vetted users. To gain access, please visit /auth on the @NPTrackerBOT or @NPS_BOT platforms. Users can send a photo of the vehicle's number plate or license disk to the BOT for testing purposes.
