3. Safaty and Security Camera and Automated I,icense Plate
� Reader Policy: Motion by Farber to receive and file the
documents and approve the updated policy on City of Dubuque
Trnffic Camera use with the addition of Automated License
Plate Readers (APLR). Seconded by Jones. Police Chief Jeremy
Jenson explained that the camaras only track license plates.
No faces or personal travel history is collected. The
automated license plate reader is designed to notify local
police if a vehicle with a license plate number previously
entered into the system because of an arrest warrant or an
Amber Alert has passed by the camera. The Chief explained that
the data was only allowed to be accessed by certified officeYs
and used for but not limited to such investigations as
homicides, burglaries, abducted children, and hit and run
accidents. After a lengthy discussion, Police Chief Jenson
answered questions from the City Council regarding[he keeping
of the data for 30 (thirty) days before the data is purged.
The Chief used an example of a family being on a vacation for
a week or two, When they return, they 5nd tha[their home had
been burglarized. In this case having the data for 30 days can
help to determine if the car used in the burglary was local ar
had left town. If the vehicle had left town the license plate
information can be entered into the system and possibly
located in another city or state. If the license plate
information was purged in a shorter amount of time, the data
