end

 

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

This memorandum of understanding is in accordance with the City Council’s Safe and Prosperous Strategic Outcome. The approved agreement will allow the City of Yuma to access the database owned and maintained by Flock Safety when the Yuma Police Department investigates crimes.

 

REPORT:

Flock Safety Group is one of many companies that produce Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) as well as maintain a database on the information captured by the ALPRs.

 

These systems are sold to both law enforcement as well as civilian consumers. There are both law enforcement and civilian consumers of Flock Safety Groups products and services within Yuma County. 

 

This memorandum of understanding allows the Yuma Police Department access to the database owned and maintained by Flock Safety Group. Access to this data would be beneficial when investigating crimes that occurred within the city limits of Yuma.

 

This memorandum of understanding would allow the creation of user accounts for members of the Yuma Police Department.  After training, these employees would use their access for criminal investigations only in accordance with YPD policy and the rules established in the memorandum.
