Other Notes: |
|
|
|
|
Installation requests
require documentation of purpose, type of installation, sensitive coverage
issues, duration of installation, etc. |
|
|
Camera
installations/operations must be designed to prevent potential intrusion into
private activities (i.e., by blocking or blurring portions of the video
image) |
|
|
Police are not
authorized to monitor or connect to privately installed/operated cameras
without evidence of a crime or approval as per schedule above |
|
|
Several provisions in
the policy manual are to ensure that neither the Police/City nor the CRC's
intended authority is circumvented |
|
|
Many sections of the
policy manual were originally based upon model camera operation manuals from
other cities |
