What the audit said
Agreed-Upon Procedures engagement (auditor expresses no overall opinion). 3 of 8 tested procedures had exceptions: (1) Public log of use — Vigilant system had no consolidated report meeting the statutory format, could not produce log data beyond 60 days, and didn't track user log-out times. (2) Access authorization — 15 of 47 users as of Nov 2017 lacked written authorization (corrected 2017-12-28, before the report issued). (3) Data destruction — some ALPR data retained beyond the 60-day statutory max via a 'Preserve' function with no corresponding 'Unpreserve'/release capability. 5 of 8 procedures (policy, data-type limits, data classification, no fixed-ALPR N/A, audit-trail existence) were compliant with no exceptions noted.
Note on this record
An agreed-upon-procedures report by the Office of the State Auditor, not filed in the Legislative Reference Library's mandated-reports collection. Covers a Vigilant system with two mobile units, one active during the period. It is the only ALPR audit located for this agency.
Recorded findings appear in green because a finding is evidence the auditor actually examined the program. A report with nothing at all appears in red.
Every agency operating an ALPR in Minnesota must arrange an independent audit every two years under Minn. Stat. § 13.824, subd. 6.
