The Police Accountability Board (PAB) has presented its findings on the Rochester Police Department's (RPD) use of surveillance technology during a meeting held on Thursday. The presentation detailed the board's assessment of RPD's practices and technologies employed, aiming to ensure transparency and accountability within the department.

The meeting served as a public forum for the PAB to share its conclusions with the community, sparking discussions regarding the RPD's surveillance policies and their impact on the community. The board's report covers a range of surveillance methods currently utilized by the RPD, including, but not limited to, the use of body-worn cameras, license plate readers, and aerial surveillance.

This review of surveillance technology aligns with the board's mission to ensure transparency and accountability within the department. The findings presented on Thursday are expected to inform future discussions regarding the RPD's surveillance policies and their impact on the community.
