Resources

Police departments, sheriff's offices, and other law enforcement agencies that use Flock Safety, Axon, Studio, or newly implemented Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) solutions must submit a signed authorization form. The form must be approved by the Chief of Police, Sheriff, City Administrator, or another executive with designated signing authority.

Why is it important?

The ALPR technology raises important privacy concerns and carries potential legal consequences when used improperly. This signed documentation establishes recognition and executive responsibility for the use of this technology by the agency.

Access, monitoring, sharing or misuse of ALPR data can expose agencies and individual officials to lawsuits and other legal challenges when someone’s privacy rights are violated.

The number of legal disputes related to surveillance technology and privacy violations is growing, daily. Agencies must understand THEIR responsibilities and ensure adequate oversight before implementing when using ALPR systems.

Please review and sign this legal document.
