And a meeting at the county level on the Fox safety cameras and just automated license plate readers in general.
That larger county meeting that we reported on happened the same week as Glenn Webb's presentation, as Chief Webb's presentation happened.
At that meeting, he suggested that Pinehurst adopt a public safety technology advisory committee.
And he recommended that it include some members of the public, a council member, and he would be the representative of the police department on that committee kind of to, you know, as a kind of point person, departmental point person.
And then the village council wanted to kind of absorb the information that they learned about flock safety cameras and everything.
But just as a general overview, you know, they are stationary cameras that take photos of vehicles on the roadway.
They store the license plate images, but they are limited in terms of the time required.
Police Chief Glenwood said at that meeting that Pinehurst only retains the data for 30 days.
And that there were a lot of, you know, a lot of concerns have been raised in recent months about that technology.
So following that meeting, the village council wanted to absorb some of that information, and they presented an ordinance that would establish the advisory committee responsible earlier this month and then continued that to last week last Tuesday, they voted to initiate Institute that committee the The members would be a member of the village council.
There will be two members of the committee appointed by the neighborhood advisory committee and one appointed by the senior advisory committee, which is a relatively new committee in the village, and an at-large member of the community appointed by the village council.
members of the committee and then of course Chief Webb as a point person for that committee and I mean this it's I think a pretty straightforward story I pulled some quotes from the council members how they what they talked about they see the committee as kind of a way to lead take a leadership stance in in this conference conversation to bring some accountability to the auditing process that's really what the idea here is is that uh quarterly the committee will review with chief webb flock safety camera system audits that the department performs he said they perform them much more regularly than that but of course this would be i think And initially, of course, things can change, but initially they have it set so that the committee will meet quarterly.
I think maybe it's also important to point out or, or a relevant piece of information that, you know, not many people in that department have access to that camera system and that he already, chief web had already instituted a transparency portal, a publicly accessible transparency portal that is available online.
And you can go in and see how many times the, system has been referenced you know how many times they have run a um you know wanted to pull data from the system i think maybe that's the best way the way to describe it um how many vehicles have passed in front of the cameras that pinehurst contracts has contracted with flock four which is nine cameras and you know uh let's see what some other information
