POLICE DEPARTMENT RECO
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) The names of agencies and organizations with which the Agency shares ALPR data;
2) The names of agencies and organizations from which the Agency receives ALPR data;
3) The names of agencies and organizations with which the Agency shares "hot list" information;
4) The names of agencies and organizations from which the Agency receives "hot list" information.
This information is easily available within the Agency's LEARN system. The simplest way to extract this
data is to generate an "Agency Data Sharing Report" PDF file from within LEARN. To do this, a user may
simply go to the "Sharing" section of LEARN and select "Output Report." A CSV/XLS file containing these
records would also satisfy this request.
The instructions for extracting this data is described on pages 62-63 of the LEARN Agency Manager Guide,
which may be found at this link:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3860685-LEARN-5-1-Agency-Manager-Guide.html
An example of this record may be found at this link:
https: //www. documentcloud. org/documents/3936113-Palos-Verdes-Estates-Police-Department-Data.html
A number of other agencies have regularly determined the above information constitutes a public record
and have provided an "Agency Data Sharing Report." These agencies include:
Anaheim Police Department, Antioch Police Department, Bakersfield Police Department Chino Police
Department, Clovis Police Department, Elk Grove Police Department, Fontana Police Department, Fountain
Valley Police Department, Glendora Police Department, Hawthorne Police Department, Irvine Police
Department, Livermore Police Department, Lodi Police Department, Long Beach Police Department,
Montebello Police Department, Orange Police Department, Palos Verdes Estates Police Department, Red
Bluff Police Department, Sacramento Police Department, San Bernardino Police Department, San Diego
Police Department, San Rafael Police Department, San Ramon Police Department, Simi Valley Police
Department, and the Tulare Police Department.

We further request the following records:
5) The aggregate number of "detections" (i.e. license plate scans and associated data) collected during
2016;
6) The aggregate number of detections collected during 2017;
7) The aggregate number of detections collected during 2018;
8) The aggregate number of "hits" (i.e. times that a plate on a hotlist was detected) during 2016;
9) The aggregate number of "hits" during 2017;
10) The aggregate number of "hits" during 2018.
This information is easily available within the Agency's LEARN system. The simplest way to extract this
data is to generate a "Dashboard Hit Ratio Report" PDF file from within LEARN. We would prefer the data
for each year to be provided separately.
An example of this document may be found at:
