Thank you so much for the information. Would it be possible to find out whether Santa Ana still has access to external agencies' ALPR databases?

Good Afternoon,
Here is the information provided by my I.T. Department (also see attached).
Hi Rita,
Yes – we can search other agencies’ data. This report shows who we share data with. I believe our “Detections Shared” was set up by the regional system administrator when the system was set up. However since we have all of our car detection systems turned off, there is no data sent to anyone. Page 3 starts the list of agencies who share their detections with us, which our people can search.
