Surveillance technology

The bike has a hidden tracking device mounted to it, which alerts nearby officers when the bike is moved.

letting people know that the shelter is under is under 247 video surveillance

The city also publishes a dashboard showing drone service calls.

Boulder's drone as first responder program and the importance of making sure that this new technology is effective, accountable, and used

So there's a series of guard rails that we have put on this technology because we truly understand um the power of technology

although the flock cameras are located and they have them on the map that that wasn't part of the system that they use

There's the drone footage. There's BPD, body warn camera footage, different data sets that they already have access to.

Um are the drones that can do the thermal detection, are those fully paid by the police department

do not have axon as a substitute or any surveillance tech for flock.

Um to have maybe their own camera that then they can feed into us when we have something.

There are cities like Atlanta that have 22,000 private cameras that people have been willing to share with the Atlanta Police Department

what changes for you operationally when a private camera gets integrated with that Axon system.

advocating for just switching from flock to like Axios, which is not that much better.

Especially because there's a lot of cities already stepping up getting rid of flock and the contracts.

wrote a letter to um the city advocating for um not using flock cameras and like a more

we've had that surveillance pole cameras dispatched to that park numerous times for lengths of times because of

the pause is a pause on the RFP we remain uh using the cameras on a month-to-month basis with our provider

so we have put a pause. We actually will be announcing something more wholesome in a press release soon

trying to bring more surveillance technology like accent instead of doing a permanent moratorium and any kind of surveillance

airports can easily pivot to camera technology if legislation were ever to pass that outlaws the current method of monitoring

Install tail number cameras for billing. It's a short ROI and our fee capture rate jump dramatically.

we started talking about Flock or rather we've been hearing that concern about Flock in our communities

Instead, ban AI enabled surveillance and protect your community.

Every day when you leave for work, it's logged. Every errands you run, it's recorded.

We do have cameras, but I'm gonna feel like so many restaurants, they don't work anymore.

BPD officers were not equipped with bodywn camera in 2014

but Flock profits from deportations and detention centers

This council would rather partner with real estate developers and surveillance tech like Flock technology that violates our Fourth Amendment rights.

mass surveillance continues to be an issue for us

a security camera that communicates with the Boulder Police Department will be added

I cannot check the CC camera for the whole day, but I will make sure I check cameras at least 20 minutes

And we have a CC cameras, I'm gonna check CC cameras once in a while, like.

Figure out how we're doing surveillance technology better, and so it sounds like, our message was very well received

to understand more of the conversation they've already been having with Flock, and how they've been

I want to share with you briefly, what we're seeing as a pretty telling success story, related to the Broadway and Pine Street camera

The ordinance to allow, the use of automated enforcement within the city was adopted in 1997, and the photo radar program

I support these cameras. I think they're a wise investment for the community.

This is general order 240 incar cameras bodywn cameras and personal recording devices did not activate body warn camera

My preference is for no surveillance cameras in the city that I call home.

it is more important than ever to eliminate mass surveillance in our communities.

When surveillance data can reach a federal government that has openly embraced racial profiling, that data becomes a tool of that profiling

I was able to view video of them consuming alcohol after.

You mentioned as part of this, the investigation into this, there was surveillance footage, correct, that you observed?

And again, I did not watch all of the surveillance videos.

There's ballistic protection in the facility, there's cameras, there's alarms

Yeah, that's something that me and the co-chairs need to talk about per the Chief's last communications.

is there data on increases in ability to address crime with Flock versus without Flock in the past.

not good oversight for the mass surveillance, where it does create, increased risks for immigrant and marginalized communities

discussing flock cameras. So, we have that on the… Agenda, and curious if anybody has anything that they would like to

And then we're going to discuss, flock cameras, and we've got a little bit of writing that

addressing protections against unlawful surveillance and data misuse

How is it that the surveillance cameras are down now when I need evidence that I rose my voice?

we already have three to four cameras that oversee the current location of where the wine would be

We also have additional cameras uh located within the grocery store now with the elimination of the liquor store.

the digital security is an issue. Surveillance is an issue.

flop camera contract that will be renewed in March

we collect as a city enormous amounts of data from the credit cards that you swipe

There's not like really a flock team. So, all officers have access to flock.

because when is the flock team actually working?

I'm here to ask Boulder City Council and PD to reconsider with the renewal of Flock Safety's contract.

There's a reason why across the country, people are pushing flock out of their cities.

Flock began as an automated license rate plate reader company and are rapidly expanding into a data collection company.

And so I need to see Flock leaving the city of Boulder, not staying, and I need to see this community

That was surveillance video from one of the surveillance cameras.

So, does DDS Liquor and Food Mart have surveillance cameras inside?

the new cameras we're planning to install, the AI camera, it actually should give you data storage up to 30 days

Talk about investment in things like security cameras, 24-hour security at all roads

It is the surveillance, camera right by the cash register. So this is DDS's surveillance camera.

Have you been able to view any of the surveillance videos during your investigation?

From a previous contact there, from a call for service, when speaking with the manager, he was able to tell me that they had video surveillance

I just really have have some concerns around um, yeah, data data security and cyber security

Microsoft has terminated part of their their program to fund Israel and supply Israel with surveillance tech

You know that the technology used on checkpoints in Palestine is the same being used here by ICE too.

We actually have pedestrian cameras that gather a different kind of data

they're doing drone flyovers of properties that they're giving him access to

And then with Sundance coming, there's an intention to put more permanent cameras downtown.

Another proposal is decreasing the mobile security cameras that we have from 2 to 1 for a 6-month period.

We can have their information as well, so we can see what they see as quickly as they see it.

we have, partnered, of course, with the county and have wildfire cameras posted, in, three particular areas

We do not currently have any cameras within the garage, although it is something that the ownership has considered

The ownership does not currently own or monitor any cameras as part of that association.

If the Commission would like to recommend that the district ownership support implementation of camera installations

General order 240 incar cameras, bodywn cameras and personal recording devices deliberately removed his bodywn camera.

I'm aware that the grocery store has a policy that police need a court order to get copies of their video surveillance

all of our managers on duty and door people, are our first line of security as well. So, cameras, staff, signage.

all of our entrance and exits are, are on camera, as well as our bar is on camera, and the interior of the venue.

we use what we call license plate readers, which are cameras attached to our enforcement vehicles

Uh as to the flock data, I will say that I'm happy to uh send over.

I met with the chief about the use of the flock data and I believe our flock data was available online for how it is used

if they don't have body warn cameras activated that people are actually welcome to call BPD

But it's really important to note that our cameras at 11 were down.

Officers interviewed involved parties and obtained the surveillance footage of the interaction at her left door.

Yeah, you could run around with license plates, license plate readers and that kind of stuff.

I know that you're talking about cameras and enforcement and all that.

Mobility has been working with community vitality on identifying some technology that could be used to enforce.

push some people out of their comfort zone a little bit with some technology and cameras

some of their surveillance tools that um I know people have expressed an an interest in

these plans did not offer proposals to increase infrastructure surveillance or penalties for human-caused fires.

and just do a walkthrough of the store and capture the store on his body worn camera

As for the extended retention for body warn camera, this is something that the professional standards unit should discuss

retaining bodywork camera for longer periods of time can assist BPD detectives and the district attorney

Do you have security cameras on site? Where are those located?

So our cameras upload them to our evidence collection website.

And can you explain for the board what is a body worn camera.

There are 8 security cameras that will be installed at the location that will cover the entire area that alcohol can be consumed by the public.

They're they're literally on foot at 3 different camera locations in the downtown so we can capture the West End

We have cameras, and they they're not taking pictures of your face.

different technologies that Bpd uses for surveillance. Basically, I think they didn't call it surveillance.

the worry of the over overly surveillance over surveillance of people in Boulder and through the through the license plate

General order 240 in car cameras, body worn cameras and personal recording devices did not activate his body

have you installed security cameras on the premises I have 10 security camera eight inside of the bar and two outside

we probably have to get some better cameras that face the the entrance um to get a better view

you're watching that camera footage so that's obviously not going to work

I agree that organizationally we need to tighten up the timing of our body worn camera activation

I urged Bpd. To reevaluate the training and messaging that officers and supervisors receive about body worn camera activation

officers one and 2 did not activate their body worn cameras until after they spoke with library security

that there are movements related specifically to the camera um to signage

we have limited cameras we move them depending on what our um needs are across the city

So these are cameras. These are lighting improvements.

which are gathered from cameras that are actually located at specific locations

And we're currently seeing 3 security camera trailers. I don't know.

Do you have cameras at the location. We do? How many. There will be 9 at this location.

the mother's alleg were just proven by B waren camera

we really want to highlight some security enhancements in our garages. Things like cell phone connectivity in the basement things like lighting cameras

We are doubling up our cameras. We are looking into an Id scanner.

You could put tubes on the road, you could put cameras up. You can look at trips in and out of the site.

That camera is there only if there's a lot of traffic and they'll save the videos.

They deleted the audio and the cop camera. My word versus his word didn't get me anywhere.

would you leave my vote only or would you check to see if there's camera out there, check my face

a recommendation to require Bpd supervisors to record conversations on body worn camera

he believes that in the present that they will be unlikely to show body worn camera due to possible appeal rights

some potential cameras that we can place in strategic areas to help kind of ensure that we're always able to monitor

So we have pedestrian cameras that count the number of visitors that come in downtown

It's not an area covered with cameras. And so what we can control, I feel we're doing a great job.

And then, also, you know, security cameras, anything we can do to help encourage a little safer experience in our garages.

the current efforts to expand the city's photo enforcement program I'm really excited about that

the expansion of State authority to use automated vehicle identification systems otherwise known as Avis to detect traffic violations on State highways

concerns that they're being held to a standard of of perfection when it comes to like body worn camera activation

Worn camera does not adequately capture the other party side of the conversation.

where we have access to the live feeds. so it it sort of depends. Dispatch can monitor those in real time.

we do the easy one with the like surveillance to move that along

the first being the Vo video surveillance retention record number of days, reducing the days from 40 to 30

so he wasn't allowed to. It wouldn't record video.

I was able to look on their body worn camera, and it looks like they waited outside

we have installed lighting at the Rosewood underpass and have a camera already installed there

we needed their cameras to to help support or negate that investigation

Yeah, so security cameras throughout the property available. And then we will look to provide additional security measures.

Worn camera compliance is enforced at all levels of supervision and considered whenever boulder police department supervisors review body worn camera.

these body worn cameras are going to be available for the public to to use in cases

So rule 6, 9, 26, c, does address the video surveillance directly.

this will specifically video surveillance backup battery requirements were reduced from 4 h to 2 h.

we have access video surveillance footage for enforcement matters.

the surveillance cameras that you and I have paid for caught the thief

a surveillance camera that I paid for with my tax dollars evidenced this

And in the middle, they, you know. The camera that I'm paying for the surveillance camera.

We do have cameras down that aisle, and then we do have cameras above cell checkout as well, and at the front entrance

I do hourly checks. My grocery manager does hourly checks. We're about those aisles all day long. Talk about the surveillance that's in that area as well.

police can actually see those cameras in their cop cars live.

you've seen those cameras that are on the big pole with kind of the kind of the base station part

2 photo radar vans and 11 red light running cameras.

This is important because our red light running cameras can be used to enforce speeding at intersections

the correlation of the corridors that are designated to the location of our existing 11 red light running cameras

I have not been allowed to even see the surveillance. Footage.

require officers to activate body worn cameras during interactions with members that members of the public initiate

We have plans that are underway to add 2 additional red light running cameras next year

GO. 2, 40 in car cameras, body worn cameras and personal recording devices muted an angled body worn camera for conversation with

GO. 2, 40 in car cameras, body worn cameras and personal recording devices turned off body worn camera for conversation with Officer 2.

You'll see a couple of cameras that have been put up, one on the pro in front of the courthouse, the big camera trees with the lights on top.

and then saw, like rumors of the camera that

we can't afford to staff people to hang out outside and standing staring at cameras outside is practically impossible.

Cameras can't cover everything. but the the industry really is is doing a really good job.

And again, not required. But do you have any cameras or other systems to help your staff monitor?

And those things could include some conversations around cameras and in starewells

Is there going to be a purchase of cameras and installation of those cameras.

the supervisor, who subsequently responded to the scene did not have more activate a body, one camera.

installing and testing the cameras to ensure functionality, transitioning our permit holders onto the new metropolis platform.

It's a series of cameras or sensors which determine how many vehicles that enter or exited the different levels

Can you let me know, like just process wise, what can happen next? And also to what extent. since this is not an electoral question

we've had a lot of good success in actually putting surveillance and other things out there

It's a cameras. It's having attendance. This improve can be a lot.

I know that, like absolutely like staff side of that building on camera and police report

one tool that we're looking into procuring is called Fixer AI chooses cell phone tracking data

understand more about the body cam cameras and how they work the laptops that they're utilizing

We've hours and hours of footage of camera data that we're synthesizing

We have not seen anything on on the cameras for accuracy.

There are security cameras inside the facility. And so, Scott, i'm gonna ask Scotch for our deputy director to add in

the camera detection system is something we did collaborate with them on and talked with them about putting in place

technologies that other communities are using that we could look at in terms of detection

Thank you. Yeah. I I see how I has appeared. Usually that happens when she has some wisdom to share with us.

general order, 240 in car cameras, body, warren cameras and personal recording devices

that we could pick up on on surveillance cameras including in a couple of instances places where we thought

we captured surveillance cameras and identified two people who we thought were suspects

Is there also security camera footage of, or are there security cameras in use at your establishment.

And our camera is with the human backstop in the artificial intelligence is reading more than just the plate.

About vandalism of equipment, I guess primarily cameras Yeah, so doesn't happen a lot.

We set up our metropolis cameras, and had it run side by side with a a gated system

One of the other things we've been doing is we have a pilot program that's called Flock Safety.

i was really interested in the um investment and more uh traffic cameras

would we benefit, perhaps in researching like a speed camera and maybe dark mouth, or maybe on actually on baseline

to provide closed circuit television cameras for security for the personnel who are monitoring that

my understanding is that that would require a separate camera camera system uh beyond our photo red light camera system

is it possible to have our red light cameras

we have about 11 photo radar cameras throughout the city

boulder should join like-minded cities including portland and oakland to protect residents against unwarranted and intrusive surveillance

the fbi itself is moving toward body-worn cameras and transparency on these issues

we're also adding a number as i mentioned of those closed circuit television cameras about 60 of them at

in terms of adding additional uh closed circuit television cameras as well as improved detection at intersections

it has been the city's um program for lack of a better term not to install a lot of surveillance type cameras

and then the last uh suggestion i had heard were cameras and i'm sure that gets expensive

a 2017 study of the effectiveness of body cameras showed that the difference in Behavior between officers wearing body cameras

Implemented edge computing on the cameras that will actually seek out and like machine learning and find fires

And that is having a simple camera system that is sitting on the highest buildings in Boulder

we also will have a fully integrated security system out including external internal cameras and other than that

we've been wearing body cameras since 2015 which puts us well ahead of the curve

requires police officers to have body cameras and to activate them in certain situations

IT'S ALL OF THE SURVEILLANCE IN THE IMPRISONMENT THE MOBILE AND MOBILE IMPRISONMENT

THEY HAVE NO VIDEO OF YOUR FACES OF BILLIONS AND BILLIONS JUST TO ME OF MILLIONS OF FACES RIGHT

TRANSPORTING A BUNCH OF VIDEO THAT COULD HAVE P I PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION OR PRIVACY CONCERNS

YOU WORKED IN CYBERSECURITY AND I WONDERED IF YOU OR ANYONE OF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE IDEA OF WHAT IS NOW CALLED SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM

instead of buying drones and monitor and phone we all should be focusing on building the peace

YOU KNOW THIS IS THIS IS NOT OKAY. THIS IS PEOPLE THEIR BASIC RIGHTS

AFTER READING THE CAMERA ARTICLES THE PROBLEM OF RACISM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR YEARS.

we've got eight red-light camera locations to photo radar vans and that program has been in operation for twenty years

more social media activity and kind of spearheaded by bill really challenging staff every time they gave us a proposal

our police officers have been using body worn cameras for a couple of years and as you know we were one of the first communities

using surveillance in some instances electronic technologies such as electronic monitoring or GPS devices help monitor sex offenders while under supervision
