SAN MARCOS POLICE DEPARTMENT
The San Marcos Police Department is committed to protecting the privacy of our residents. In response to community and Council feedback, SMPD is implementing a series of policy and operational changes to strengthen privacy protections related to automated license plate reader technology.
Effective June 9, SMPD ceased all automatic sharing of ALPR data with outside law enforcement agencies. Instead, data will now only be shared upon request and confirmation of a specific criminal investigation or prosecution. Agencies must also complete a formal request process, including a non-disclosure agreement, before data will be released.
