Recommendation #50 To: Sacramento County Sheriff's Department
To ensure that ALPR system access is limited to agency staff who have a need and a right to use ALPR data, Sacramento should ensure that its ALPR policy specifies the staff classifications, ranks, or other designations that may hold ALPR system user accounts and that accounts are granted based on need to know and right to know.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office updated General Order 10/12 (Automated License Plate Reader Program) to specify the personnel that may hold ALPR system user accounts based on a need-to-know and right-to-know basis.
