Mayor Moore and Police Chief Mathis will lead a presentation and Q&A about license plate readers in our community on Thursday, Oct. 8 from 6-8 p.m. in Town Hall Council Chambers (645 Holbrook Street).

The presentation will also cover the current number and placement of cameras, the criteria used to determine their locations, and how the program is funded.\n<\/p>\n Privacy and data governance will also be a focus of the discussion. Topics will include how long ALPR data is retained, who can access and search the system, safeguards and auditing procedures designed to prevent misuse, policies regarding sharing information with other law enforcement agencies, and data security and ownership.\n<\/p>\n The majority of the meeting will be dedicated to public questions and comments.\n<\/p>\n Resident Participation<\/p>\n
