The amount/details of loitering arrests made or citations given using surveillance footage from Operation Virtual Shield (OVS) networked surveillance cameras with the subject loitering alert feature.
I am specifically seeking any statistics related to the total number of arrests and/or citations for offenses related to loitering made using OVS footage as well as the ethnicity, age, sex, location (both camera location and location of where the arrest was made) of the persons arrested and/or cited, if available. The time frame for which I am seeking records is from January 2013 through November 2017.
