Audits by this auditor
No discrepancies noted.
Read the audit (LRL 260881) →Lembcke audited Belle Plaine PD's Flock system (5 stationary cameras, no mobile units). Went section by section through the statute's seven requirements, querying live data in Flock Analytics for retention (30-day default, confirmed no data older than 30 days), sharing, log of use (verified against the statutory checklist), access authorization, and BCA notification (confirmed on the BCA site, including the five fixed locations). A BCA CJIS security audit was also conducted in July 2024. Every section closed 'no discrepancies noted.'
Read the audit (LRL 261027) →Zero findings recorded. The auditor walked each statutory requirement under Minn. Stat. 13.824 and closed every section with "No discrepancies noted." Shakopee ran three ALPR systems during the period: Elsag Plate Hunter (discontinued January 8, 2025), Flock cameras in six permanent locations on a 30-day retention, and Axon squad-mounted ALPRs on 60 days. No recommendations, no exceptions, and no ghost-finding language in the narrative.

Read the audit (LRL 251759) →No findings recorded. The report recites "No discrepancies noted" against each of the seven § 13.824 requirements. Data limited to "license plate numbers; date, time, location" and vehicle images, all classified as private; 30-day retention with systematic deletion, and "A query of data stored in Flock Analytics confirmed" nothing exceeded that window; no data-sharing requests received during the period; public log of use maintained; "Access is managed by the assignment of roles and permissions in Flock"; BCA notification timely and camera locations published. No recommendations, no "as a result of this audit" language, no ghost findings.
