It depends on how technolicic the police department has advance ( how much money they got to spend on high tech high speed equipment) and if they have installed computers in there patrol cars and if the computer in the cars have network asscecc and so on so forth. if they do then they can pretty much get the info from the computer pretty quick if not they have to do it the old fasion way i did when i was a Police Officer we had to radio the tag and state over the radio to a dispatcher who was at a building with computer acess and the dispatcher would read the info from the computer to us over the radio, Many smaller police departments still use this older method. but it still works.

Yes. All police officers have access to NLETS, National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System. All states, except 1, participate in this program. Officers can either access the database from in car computers or from their dispatch office.

yup it’s really cool i went on this ride along with this really awesome deputy, and he showed me how he runs license plates through his little computer on the cop car =) just in case if you are wondering why, b/c the people who violate laws dotn stay put in one place, they move around too =)

In Maryland, we can run tags instantly, but to get registration info from different states, we have to go into NCIC and provide a little bit more info–dispatch can do it for you when you are on a stop…
