Grafton, WI Police Department Policy 427 (Automated License Plate Readers) — a Lexipol-template policy (Copyright Lexipol LLC 2025/04/25). Key provisions: Flock Safety handles installation/maintenance/data retention for fixed ALPR cameras; a separate mobile ALPR system is managed by the Assistant Chief of Police with data stored on a server at the Greenfield, WI Police Department. Retention: fixed (Flock) ALPR data retained 30 days per Flock’s standard retention; mobile ALPR data retained 1 year per the Greenfield PD server agreement — notably a much longer retention window for the mobile system than the fixed cameras. Because Flock is part of a nationwide network, the Chief of Police may grant other law enforcement agencies access to Grafton’s ALPR data. Data is not open to public records review (treated as confidential). Requires regular ALPR system audits (per policy text, though actual audit practice not described). Useful primary-source comparative document for BPA — a real municipal ALPR policy template (Lexipol boilerplate is used by many US departments) showing the fixed-vs-mobile retention discrepancy and the network-wide data-sharing default that BPA’s own Bend ordinance work should account for.
