CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- After a Chesterfield County police investigator was accused of misusing Flock cameras, the department is making changes to how it uses automatic license plate readers (ALPR) in day-to-day policing. On Monday, Nov. 2, the Chesterfield County Police Department (CCPD ) announced several new policies related to the use of ALPRs by its employees. This comes a month after CCPD intelligence investigator Rebekkah Robinson was accused of misusing the Flock Safety-branded ALPR system. She is facing multiple charges, including computer invasion of privacy. Throughout America, there is a growing debate about whether or not the benefits of ALPRs outweigh their risks. Those against the use of these cameras say they are a gross violation of privacy and easily misused, while those who support their use say they are a vital tool for law enforcement. Several other Central Virginia localities -- including Goochland, Prince Edward, Amelia and Henrico -- have recently stopped using Flock ALPRs, while Richmond has announced it won't be renewing its Flock contract. Based on Monday's announcement, CCPD will be implementing additional safeguards on ALPR use rather than doing away with the cameras entirely. "After conducting a comprehensive review, leadership found no evidence of systemic misconduct or any additional misuse by department personnel," CCPD said in a press release. "That said, the Chesterfield Police Department is taking steps to further enhance accountability, strengthen oversight and reinforce public trust." According to a press release, CCPD has taken or will take the following actions related to ALPR use: Limited ALPR system access to "essential personnel" Reviewed written policies and procedures "to ensure clarity for end users" Updated and distributed training materials "to reinforce legal requirements, operational expectations and industry best practices" Implemented a new "User Agreement Confirmation" process, "requiring personnel with ALPR access to formally acknowledge their understanding of legal requirements, departmental policies and accountability standards" Adding "supplemental auditing procedures," including the use of two automated tools "designed to identify activity warranting additional scrutiny and supervisory review" Chesterfield Police Chief Frank Carpenter said that ALPR transparency "remains a cornerstone of the department's response." He added that these policies are not set in stone and will be updated "as best practices evolve." Further comments from Carpenter on this announcement are included below. "On October 2, I promised our community that we would conduct a thorough review of our systems and processes and take action wherever improvements were needed. Today, I am proud to report that progress has been made. While our existing safeguards helped identify and address misconduct, this review provided us with opportunities to strengthen oversight and reinforce the expectations we place on every member of this department. We understand that public trust must be earned every day. When concerns arise, our responsibility is not only to investigate them thoroughly, but also to be transparent about the steps we are taking to prevent similar incidents in the future. We made a commitment to review our practices and we believe it is equally important to share the results of that review with the community we serve." ...read more read less
