To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) The names of agencies and organizations with which the Agency shares Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) data;
2) The names of agencies and organizations from which the Agency receives ALPR data;
3) The names of agencies and organizations with which the Agency shares “hot list” information;
4) The names of agencies and organizations from which the Agency receives “hot list” information;
5) The aggregate number of “detections” (i.e. license plate scans and associated data) collected during 2016;
6) The aggregate number of detections collected during 2017;
7) The aggregate number of detections collected during 2018;
8) The aggregate number of “hits” (i.e. times that a plate on a hotlist was detected) during 2016;
9) The aggregate number of “hits” during 2017;
10) The aggregate number of “hits” during 2018.
For Items 1-4: This information is easily available within the Agency’s Vigilant Solutions LEARN system. The simplest way to extract this data is to generate an “Agency Data Sharing Report” PDF file from within LEARN. To do this, a user may simply go to the “Sharing” section of LEARN and select “Output Report.” A CSV/XLS file containing these records would also satisfy this request.
The instructions for extracting this data is described on pages 62-63 of the LEARN Agency Manager Guide, which may be found at this link:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3860685-LEARN-5-1-Agency-Manager-Guide.html
An example of this record may be found at this link:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3936113-Palos-Verdes-Estates-Police-Department-Data.html
A number of other agencies have regularly determined the above information constitutes a public record and have provided an “Agency Data Sharing Report.” These agencies include:
Anaheim Police Department, Antioch Police Department, Bakersfield Police Department Chino Police Department, Clovis Police Department, Elk Grove Police Department, Fontana Police Department, Fountain Valley Police Department, Glendora Police Department, Hawthorne Police Department, Irvine Police Department, Livermore Police Department, Lodi Police Department, Long Beach Police Department, Montebello Police Department, Orange Police Department, Palos Verdes Estates Police Department, Red Bluff Police Department, Sacramento Police Department, San Bernardino Police Department, San Diego Police Department, San Rafael Police Department, San Ramon Police Department, Simi Valley Police Department, and the Tulare Police Department.
For Items 5-10: This information is easily available within the Agency’s Vigilant Solutions LEARN system. The simplest way to extract this data is to generate a “Dashboard Hit Ratio Report” PDF file from within LEARN. We would prefer the data for each year to be provided separately.
An example of this document may be found at: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3870802-Sacramento-PD-Hit-Ratio-Rpt-010112-051917-Redacted.html
The instructions for extracting this data is described on pages 78-79 of the LEARN Agency Manager Guide, which may be found at this link:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3860685-LEARN-5-1-Agency-Manager-Guide.html
The following agencies have regularly determined the above information constitutes a public record and have provided an “Dashboard Hit Ratio Report.” These agencies include:
Anaheim Police Department; Bakersfield Police Department; Chino Police Department; Clovis Police Department; Elk Grove Police Department; Fontana Police Department; Irvine Police Department; La Habra Police Department; Laguna Beach Police Department; Lodi Police Department; Sacramento Police Department; San Diego Police Department; San Ramon Police Department; and the Red Bluff Police Department.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Dave Maass

Hello,
Thank you for response to this request. I would like you to please reconsider.
State law only prohibits the release of individual license plate scans. Aggregate data is not covered by the law as it does not jeopardize personal privacy. Dozens of Georgia agencies have provided the same information we have requested.
As for the Data Sharing Report, if you are unwilling to create the data sharing report, please provide the raw data. You should be able to get this from your software system. If not, you should provide all documentation agreeing to sharing with these agencies. I believe this may be a more onerous task than just generating the Data Sharing Report (a feature you have already paid for with the software).
Again, we have received these records from dozens of your peers in Georgia.
Thank you.

Thank you for the response.
To be clear, I am not seeking ALPR data, but rather the aggregate information that is available through your system. With regards to data sharing, this data is also in your system and can be extracted easily. In fact, your agency has already paid for the ability to export this data through the software, which is why I provided information on the simplest way to provide this information.
I have received records from 12 other Georgia agencies already that have reached a different legal conclusion than your agency. These include the Alma Police Department, Thomasville Police Department, Byron Police Department, Marietta Police Department, Blairsville Police Department,
Long County Sheriff's Office, Sparks Police Department, Augusta-Richmond County Sheriff's Office, Doraville Police Department, and Tybee Island Police Department. We expect many more to come in the weeks to come. Please let me know if you would like me to provide you with correspondence from these agencies.
I request that you reconsider my request. This data, which does not reveal any sensitive information about investigations, will be very useful to your agency, other agencies, academics, and members of the public in comparing how various agencies throughout Georgia, and throughout the rest of the country, use this technology.
Sincerely,
Dave Maass
