Anoka County Sheriff's Office

What the audit said

No findings. Lembcke checked seven statutory requirements — data collection/classification/use restrictions, destruction of data, sharing among agencies, log of use, biennial audit, authorization to access data, and BCA notification — and recorded "No discrepancies noted" on every one. Report confirms 30-day retention ("thirty (30) days from the date of collection"), matching with the Minnesota License Plate Data File only, warrants required to track criminal investigation subjects, no sharing requests received, no security breaches, and fixed ALPR locations registered with the BCA. No ghost-finding language in the narrative: nothing described as fixed during or as a result of the audit.

FinePrint notes

QA pass 2026-09-10 (weekly rotation). Verified Source URL resolves and the letterhead names Anoka County Sheriff's Office (Sheriff Brad Wise, 13301 Hanson Blvd., Andover) — correct agency, correct doc number 251490. Corrections made this pass: Audit Conducted Date added as 2025-06-25, the fieldwork date the report states ("conducted on June 25, 2025"). The report is signed "Dated: September 11, 2025" — the Lembcke dual-date pattern; the signature date is NOT the conducted date. Audit Period End added as 2025-06-15 (report states period October 30, 2023 through June 15, 2025). Report Pages set to 4. Rigor gap: the report discloses no ALPR device/camera count. It names Flock ALPRs in stationary/fixed locations (implemented 2023-10-30) and Axon squad ALPRs (2024-06-06) but never counts either, so Devices / Cameras is intentionally left empty rather than estimated. The audit period start is the Flock implementation date, so this is the agency's first audit cycle after deployment. Tested Live System retained as true: the report cites a review of Hotlist Sources in Flock Analytics Admin and queries run in Flock Analytics and Evidence.com, not screen prints alone. Audit Depth retained as Checklist — 4-page letter, seven statutory headings, clean sheet. Findings tiers not applicable (0 recorded findings, 0 ghost findings). Next biennial audit expected mid-2027; not overdue.
