CityCouncil | 2018-02-06 | 8 | Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether there will be signage stating Alameda has ALPR's. The Police Chief responded signage can be done. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired why the money for the ALPR's is not spent on more police officers and training. The Police Chief responded the money being spent on the ALPR's is from salary vacancies; stated spending the money is not preventing APD from hiring another officer. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether it is challenging to hire new officers, to which the Police Chief responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether there are retirements coming up in the Police Department. The Police Chief responded in the affirmative; discussed the difficulties with trying to keep up with the rate of retiring officers. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the camera information could be used to monitor the businesses people frequent or places worship. The Police Chief responded that is not the intention of APD. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the request is for fixed cameras at the ports to the City, to which the Police Chief responded in the affirmative; stated fixed cameras cannot follow someone around; only a mobile unit could do that. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the audit would capture said information, to which the Police Chief responded the audit would capture the number of hits received and the number of inquiries made into the system. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether APD is able to guarantee that ICE would not have access to APD data from an ALPR. The Police Chief responded that he is 100% certain that ICE cannot access the data from him; stated someone could take a photo and share the information with other agencies but he will ensure anyone working for APD will not share information. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether there is an overview photo that is also taken of the vehicle or just the license plate. The Police Chief responded the cameras APD purchased are designed to only take a photograph of the license plate.
