Surveillance technologies such as automated license plate readers, body cameras and drones, to name a few, have the potential to give law enforcement an edge in fighting crime and bringing wrongdoers to justice. Yet the same technologies also raise serious concerns about privacy and civil liberties. Throughout California, elected representatives and law enforcement leaders are faced with the task of finding a balance that serves their community.
At this Forum, speakers from California and elsewhere will discuss how law enforcement is procuring and using these technologies, how local communities are addressing the related policy issues and how to develop best practices for balancing the need to keep our communities safe while at the same time respecting privacy rights and civil liberties.

tank on technology, privacy and information governance.
