APPENDIX 2

MONTEVALLO POLICE DEPARTMENT
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs)

Purpose and Scone
The purpose of this policy is to set forth guidelines and provide direction on the capture, storage,
and use of ALPR-generated data obtained using Automated License Plate Reader technology in a
manner that serves the public interest and fulfills criminal investigative and intelligence needs.
Policy
The policy of the Montevallo Police Department is to utilize ALPR technology to capture and
store digital license plate data, images, and locations in a manner consistent with respect for
individuals' privacy and civil liberties.
All data and images collected with ALPR technology are for official use only. The data collected
may contain confidential information, so it is not open to public review.
ALPR technology has the capability of automated capturing and detection of license plates. The
Montevallo Police Department will utilize the converted data associated with vehicle license
plates for official use and investigations. The data collected may assist in the following but not
limited to:
(a) Locate stolen, wanted, and subject of investigation vehicles.
(b) Locate and apprehend individuals subject to arrest warrants or otherwise lawfully sought
by law enforcement.
(c) Locate witnesses and victims of violent crime.
(d) Locate missing children and elderly individuals, including responding to Amber and
Silver alerts.
(e) Support local, state, federal, and tribal public safety departments in the identification of
vehicles associated with targets of criminal investigations, including investigation of
serial crimes.
Operatlons,
Use of an ALPR is restricted to the purposes outlined below. Department members shall not use
or allow others to use the equipment or database records for any unauthorized purpose.
(a) ALPRs and data generated by ALPRs shall be used only for criminal justice purposes
(Ala. Admin. Code r.265-X-6-.04).
(b) ALPR system use shall be authorized by the Chief of Police or his/her designee.
Effective 03/22/2024

(c) Only trained members who are authorized by the Chief of Police or his/her designee may
operate an ALPR (Ala. Admin. Code. r. 265-X-6-.08).
(d) Department personnel may access or use ALPR stored data only if the person has been
designated as an authorized user by the Chief of Police or designee and has been trained
by the department on the proper use of ALPR data
(e) Authorized users should use ALPR data collected in conjunction with other investigative
techniques prior to taking enforcement action, even if the ALPR was used to obtain
vehicle information gathered near a crime scene.ALPR operators must recognize that the
data collected from the ALPR device and the content consists of data that may not be
accurate. Users must visually confirm the plate characters generated by the ALPR readers
correspond with the digital image of the license plate in question.

required to acknowledge that they have read and understood Montevallo Police
Department Standard Operating Procedure prior to the use of the ALPR system.
DATA COLLECTION AND RETENTION
ALPR data will be collected as a by-product of the active scanning of license plates that are
compared with the downloaded extract, searched as part of a criminal investigation, or for the
purpose of criminal justice. This data is collected through mobile and fixed ALPR cameras in the
same manner. The ALPR database typically contains the image of the license plate, the optical
character recognition rendition of the license plate number, and the capture date/time and
location. ALPR data will be stored, purged, destroyed, or deleted. All stored ALPR data should
be retained for no more than five years unless it is reasonable to believe it will become evidence
in a criminal or civil case and may be subject to a discovery request or other lawful action to
produce records. If those circumstances arise, the user should take the necessary steps to ensure
the data is saved onto portable media and booked into evidence.
If data is required to be retained beyond the five-year retention period, then notice shall be sent
to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) in accordance with Ala. Admin. Code r. 2656-.06.

ALPR technology is closely safeguarded and protected.

data captured, stored, generated, or otherwise produced by the ALPR to ensure that only
