Police chief outlines safeguards for Riverdale's automated camera system
Summary
The police chief told council that camera access requires a case number and a stated purpose, that audit logs exist to prevent misuse, and that the city has curtailed outside agency access except for the Realtime Crime Center; he said the system is used for missing people, stolen vehicles and criminal investigations.
The police chief addressed recent community concerns about automated-license-plate and related camera systems and described controls the department uses to restrict and audit access. He said any officer who accesses the system must "put in a case number" and state the reason for the search; the department maintains an audit log to review access and guard against improper use.
The chief also said the department has limited outside access and currently shares data only with the Realtime Crime Center in downtown Ogden for investigative assistance. He said the system's intended uses are focused on missing persons, stolen vehicles and crime investigations and that the city will continue to monitor vendor practices and require contractual safeguards.
