Mr. Maass:
Please see the attached response to your Open Records Request. As per the letter, this Office, unlike those referenced in your request, is not the Police Department for Allegheny County. The Sheriff's Office does not have it's own ALPR data base. So as to provide a comprehensive response, however, if there was an occasion where this Office had access to such data, it would have been via the database of another agency. Since your request includes a sub request for data obtained by other agencies, additional time will be needed to determine whether that occurred and with what frequency.
