The survey questions addressed <br /> these topics: <br /> • Types of surveillance technology used in the jurisdiction <br /> • Policies for collecting, managing, and storing surveillance data <br /> • Precautions taken to ensure public trust <br /> • Proposals made for a local ordinance related to the purchase and deployment of new or <br /> borrowed surveillance technology <br /> With the exception of Broadmoor,32 Colma, and Millbrae, every city and town responding to the <br /> Grand Jury survey uses some form of surveillance technology. The devices range from video <br /> cameras in police stations to more sophisticated tools, such as ALPRs.
