Resident asks West Haven to publish police AI and surveillance data policies
Summary
A West Haven resident asked the council to make public the police department’s policies on AI and surveillance technology, raising questions about data security, oversight and approval processes.
Jordan Wolatinsky of Prospect Avenue asked the council whether the city would make public information about the police department’s use of surveillance technology and any associated AI systems, focusing on data security and oversight.
"I'd like to see what the transparency is for the AI data for the police department with all of the new technology," Wolatinsky said, asking specifically about implementation, oversight and approval processes and requesting that the information be made public.
Council staff responded that the meeting was a public‑comment forum and offered to provide Wolatinsky with follow-up information. The comment was entered into the hearing record for the council’s consideration during upcoming budget and departmental reviews.
