ALPR Policy
General: Automatic License Plate Reader Technology (ALPR), also known as
License Plate Recognition, provides automated detection of license plates. Its primary
function is to convert data taken in the field from vehicle plates and use it for the law

. . persons. ALPRs are also used to gather infonnation related to active warrants, homeland
security, electronic surveillance, suspect interdiction and stolen property recovery. 1
DATABASES: The information download will come from the National Crime
Information Center (NCIC) hot file via ACCESS (A Central Computerized Enforcement
Service System), currently managed by the Washington State PatroL NCIC contains
national stolen vehicle and plate data published daily by the FBI. The Washington State
Patrol (WSP) places the NCIC file on a server available through ACCESS to those
agencies that have a specific and signed agreement with WSP to access and use the
information. There may be other files local law enforcement may use if a local
jurisdiction wishes to upload them. This could include access to local records
management system, parking violation, or warrant data.2
ADMINISTRA TION: The Bremerton,Police Department administrator will be
the Operations Commander.
The administrator will be responsible for the following:
. Overseeing and administering the ALPR program, including the storage and
management of all ALPR data systems.
e Ensuring the proper selection of the personnel approved to operate the ALPR
system.
. Ensuring appropriate training of operators and that the training is completed prior
to an operator using the system.
III Ensuring that all training is documented.
o Ensuring the provision of ongoing training as deemed necessary.
o Authorizing any requests for ALPR use or data access according to department
guidelines.
.-."
ALPROPERA TOR SELECTION: Only authorized Bremelion Police
Officers will be pennitted to access historical ALPR data.

attempt to identify suspected perpetrator's vehicles.
DATA COOLECTION AND RETENTION:
. All ALPR data recorded should be maintained on the operator's laptop for a
maximum of24 hours from the end of the Officer's shift during which the data
was recorded.

an authorized server. Once the data is transferred it shall be purged immediately,
or as soon as practicable, from the ALPR laptop.

believe it will become evidence in a specific criminal or civil action. In those
circumstances, the applicable data shall be downloaded from the server onto a CD
or other portable technology. It shall be subject to the same logging, handling and
chain of custody requirements as other evidence.
o Persons approved to access ALPR data under these guidelines are permitted to
access the data when there is articulable suspicion that the data relates to an

CITY OF BREMERTON FEDERAL STIMULUS
BACKGROUND ON CITY OF BREMERTON: Bremerton is a distressed community that
struggled during the economic boom of the past decade. Bremerton's mean household income is
the lowest among the largest 25 Puget Sound Cities, with 27% of its residents having incomes
below the national poverty level, and 12% having incomes of less than 50% of the poverty level.
Regional poverty is concentrated within the City, as evidenced by nearly 60% of students in the
Bremerton School District being eligible for reduced price meals. This economic distress is
further documented by job losses, since Bremerton lead the sta!e in job losses between 1995 and
2001.
STREETS PROJECTS: The City has identified two projects that can begin construction within
90-days; Safe Routes to Schools and Street Paving. The project with the greatest job growth
potential is the Sheldon/Pacific Improvements Project; however, using the typical Design-Bid-
Build procurement method would require 6 to 8-months for construction to begin. If legislation
were adopted to authorize construction using Design-Build procurement methods to provide relief
from the current bidding requirements on an interim basis during the implementation of this
stimulus program, construction on this project could start within 90-days. Construction would be
completed within 2-years using either procurement method.
