Ms. Lipton,

I received your records request regarding social media surveillance software or equipment we might use along with contracts and other items associated with them. I am checking and will get to you definitively but my understanding is we have not used or attempted to obtain that type of software.

We do have Standard Operating Procedural documents related to Social Media- On-Duty Use, and Social Media - Investigative Use. Those SOP's are available to the public on our website and you can pull them up yourself at https://www.cityofmadison.com/police/documents/sop/SocialMediaInvestUse.pdf and https://www.cityofmadison.com/police/documents/sop/SocialMediaOnDutyUse.pdf. I will find out whether we have policies related to the acquisition of social media and surveillance software but do not believe we do.

Feel free to give me a call at the number below.
