Surveillance Technology Inventory

Policies governing how the City uses surveillance technology

This inventory shows all currently identified surveillance technologies. Draft and approved policies governing the use of these technologies are linked below. The policies missing a link are under development and have yet to be drafted and heard at a public meeting.  

For each technology, City departments are required to create a Surveillance Impact Report, a Surveillance Technology Policy, and Annual Reports. 

A “Surveillance Technology” is defined in the Surveillance Ordinance as:

  • A software, electronic device, system using an electronic device, or similar device
  • used, designed, or primarily intended to
  • collect, retain, process, or share
  • audio, electronic, visual, location, thermal, biometric, olfactory or similar information
  • specifically associated with, or capable or being associated with, any individual or group

The includes 15 separate exemptions for technologies not required to be inventoried. 

For Department reporting on Board approved policies, refer to the Annual Surveillance Reports Inventory.  

Our current inventory of surveillance technologies by department will continue to grow as additional technologies are identified.

As of November 7, 2023, the surveillance inventory has been updated to remove email and marketing analytic technologies. The City found these technologies to be exempt under Chapter 19B.

Departments are listed in alphabetical order. Technologies where more than one department cooperatively used that technology are referenced in the "Collaborative" section, listed after all of the individual departments. Policies for one technology that are not used collaboratively, but for which one policy was created for more than one department because multiple departments shared use cases for the technology, are referenced in the "Multidepartmental" section at the bottom of the page.

The detectors sense for the presence of a gunshot, conducting full analysis on the device (no real-time audio is sent back). In the event of an activation, the alert message is sent over our proprietary wireless mesh (potentially hopping over multiple detectors) back to the gateway. The gateway connects to the AmberBox Response Platform servers via a VPN and HTTPS connection. The AmberBox Response Platform servers are hosted by our cloud provider, Google Cloud.
