Russian term

временные мероприятия

Russian to English Other Other law enforcement
This term is used in a description of a license plate recognition system to be used by law enforcement agencies. The first example is describing one of the system's functions:

оперативное внесение данных по разыскиваемому ТС (в случае проведения различных временных мероприятий) для последующего сравнения с ними поступающей от комплексов фото-видеофиксации и видеокамер информации

Another example is:

При проведении временных мероприятий по перехвату ТС [product name] дает возможность оперативно вносить в собственную базу данных всю необходимую информацию о разыскиваемом ТС для сравнения с ней поступающих от камер и АПКФ данных.

The only definition of временные мероприятия I have been able to find is "provisional arrangements" (from Multitran), but that doesn't seem to quite fit here. It seems like this may be some kind of law enforcement term for a special operation to catch a wanted vehicle, but I'm not 100% sure, and I don't know what the proper term for that would be in English

The Misha May 30, 2011:
I read this as временнЫе, not врЕменные, i.e. these are urgent, time-limited measures taken right after the incident before the trail goes cold. From this standpoint, temporary is definitely wrong, and ad hoc misses the essential meaning of time restriction. Time-limited or priority measures, maybe?

"временные" means non-recurrent to me in the context, esp. as in "временных мероприятий по перехвату".
