November 6, 2026

Greeley Police Department Hosting Two Info Sessions on ALPR Use

GREELEY, Colo. — The Greeley Police Department invites community members to attend an upcoming Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Info Session to learn more about how the technology is used, the privacy protections in place, and the steps taken in response to feedback from City Council and the community.

Greeley residents have important questions about how ALPRs affect privacy. These sessions will provide an opportunity to hear directly from Greeley Police Chief Adam Turk and team, ask questions, and better understand how ALPRs support public safety while maintaining clear limits on their use.

Upcoming ALPR Info Sessions

The Greeley Police Department uses ALPRs to help locate stolen vehicles, missing persons, and vehicles connected to criminal investigations. The cameras read license plates on public roads and compare them with law enforcement lists of vehicles officers are already looking for.

The City and Greeley Police Department recognize that residents want both a safe community and strong protections for their privacy. Greeley has established clear policies and safeguards governing ALPR use:

  • What cameras capture: A vehicle’s license plate, state, type and color, along with the time and location.
  • What cameras do NOT capture: Faces, drivers, passengers or personal information. ALPRs do not use facial recognition.
  • How long data is retained: Information is kept for 21 days unless it is needed as evidence in a criminal case.
  • Who can search the system: Only trained and authorized personnel may conduct searches, and each search must have a documented law enforcement purpose. All searches are logged.
  • What ALPRs are NEVER used for: Immigration enforcement, proactive traffic tickets, personal use, harassment, or targeting someone based on a protected characteristic.

Community members are encouraged to attend either session, ask questions, and learn more about how Greeley is using this technology responsibly to support public safety.
