Good afternoon,

Please be advised that SLED does not possess a record responsive to your request for "an audit log of all ALPR queries to out-of-state law enforcement agencies between 1/1/2023 and 2/18/2024." Additionally, know that South Carolina law does not require SLED to generate an electronic version of a record when one does not exist to fulfill a records request. See S.C. Code Ann. ยง 30-4-30(A)(2). Lastly, even if SLED did possess such records, 28 C.F.R. Part 20 and FBI CJIS Security Policy, Version 5.9 would prohibit the release of such record since any and all Criminal Justice Information Systems (CJIS) information cannot be provided to non-law enforcement sources. Therefore, federal law and policy would prohibit SLED from releasing any such records responsive to this request.

Thank you.
