What we do not know
Bannock County Sheriff
- How many cameras were installed at each site, and what do they cover?
- How long is the footage kept, and who may view it?
- The bid specification in the county's own packet lists acceptable manufacturers for the video management system and the recorders. Which was installed?
Pocatello Police
- Has the grant been awarded? Nothing in the records we read says so.
- How many traffic cameras does the city operate through its Traffic Control Center, where are they, and who can see them now?
- Would the crime center carry the plate reader network's feeds as well as the traffic cameras? The application names the Flock system as context and does not say.
- What would the intelligence sharing hub share, and with whom? The application uses the phrase and does not define it.
- Is there any policy governing a real time crime center, and would one be written before the room is built?
What camera networks are
Fixed and steerable cameras run by a public agency, often networked so footage from many locations can be watched or searched from one place.
