Found compliant on all items; no findings.

Found compliant on all items; no findings.

No findings or recommendations recorded. All 8 statutory sub-areas (policy, retention, data security/access, data classification, inter-agency sharing, public log of use, BCA notification, biennial audit planning) marked compliant. Auditor reviewed the Flock admin/retention control panel and sampled one month (July 2026) of inter-agency data-sharing requests; no exceptions surfaced in that sample.

First audit of West Saint Paul PD's new Flock system (10 stationary units, operational 9/1/25–6/30/26). MNSec found the agency compliant on policy, retention (30-day Flock default), access control (inactive users confirmed deactivated), data classification, interagency sharing (a full month sampled, all justified), public log of use (monthly reports reviewed), BCA notification, and breach notification. No exceptions noted. Companion AXON-system audit filed the same season under LRL 261168.

Second Flock-system audit for this agency. No findings.

First Flock-system audit (system installed 2024). No findings.

GHOST FINDING — a problem found and fixed during the audit but never recorded as a finding. The report states Oakdale 'now compiles monthly reports' meeting the subd. 5 public-log requirement and that 'as a result of this audit' the department 'is now in compliance with this part of the statute' — meaning it was out of compliance until the auditor showed up. Final report: compliant, no findings recorded. Rated as no findings because that is what the report records. See FinePrint feed: The ghost findings of Minnesota's ALPR audits.

No findings. Auditor given direct administrative access to the live Axon system rather than relying on screen prints supplied by the agency.

Found compliant on all items; no findings. First audit of the new Flock system.

Found compliant on all items; no findings.

GHOST FINDING — The report records zero findings, yet its own narrative recommends that Orono "develop a standalone breach policy," noting that breach procedures currently exist only as a reference inside the department's ALPR policy (Policy 3059.0) rather than as a standalone document. A missing or partial breach-notification policy scores as Material under FinePrint's calibration; MNSec described the gap, recommended a fix, and still returned a clean sheet. Everything else was reported compliant: 30-day Flock retention (statutory max 60), role-based access with regular administrative review, ALPR data classified as private, inter-agency sharing requests tracked by agency/requesting party/case number, monthly compliance reports available on records request, BCA notification confirmed, and a commitment to biennial independent audits. Three stationary/flex Flock devices, no squad-mounted units. See "The ghost findings of Minnesota's ALPR audits."

GHOST FINDING — a problem the audit describes but never records. Marked compliant with zero findings, yet the narrative notes the office had not been maintaining a standard set of Log of Use reports, a Minn. Stat. 13.824 subd. 5 requirement, in the now-retired BOSS system. No formal discrepancy was recorded and MNSec offered to assist with future systems. Rated as no findings because that is what the report records; flagged as a major issue because the described gap appears to violate the statute. See FinePrint feed: The ghost findings of Minnesota's ALPR audits.

No findings. MNSec was given administrative access to the PIPS Technology BOSS system; all 6 mobile devices carried 2-day retention settings and no plate reads were detectable after 2 days. Audit trail sampled; log of use reports maintained in BOSS; no inter-agency sharing requests during the period.
