BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:
Board Policy 411 - Tempo Platform Camera Use, requires the District to maintain a log of all video requests. The policy also requires an annual report to the Board identifying the types of data requests received and responded to, and the intended use.

The remaining requests (46) were internal requests from staff. The attached 2024 summary report shows the dates, requestor and reason for the request. As part of the audit, staff determined that all requests from law enforcement agencies other than those contracted to provide service to the District were supported by proper court documents.
