The Salt Lake City Council will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, to consider an ordinance regarding the use of Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) systems by the Police Department. According to a September 1 notice, the hearing is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. to discuss enhancing transparency for these systems.
The proposed legislation would amend Chapter 2.10 of the Salt Lake City Code. This amendment seeks to establish a regulatory framework for the Police Department's use of ALPR systems and their associated data. The framework would govern aspects including access, retention, sharing, training, security, and auditing of the system.
The meeting will be held via electronic means and will also allow for in-person participation at City Hall, located at 451 South State Street, Room 315, Salt Lake City, Utah. Interested individuals may also provide comments via a 24-hour telephone line at 801-535-7654 or by emailing council.comments@slc.gov.
The proposed legislation, identified by file number Z 20260162, is available for review through the Salt Lake City Recorder's Office or electronically at https://tinyurl.com/proposedleg. Requests for reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities should be made to the City Council Office at least two business days in advance.
