Surveillance Technology Inventory

This inventory shows all currently identified surveillance technologies. 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 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 Surveillance Ordinance includes 15 separate exemptions for technologies not required to be inventoried. For more details, refer to the ordinance directly.

 

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