Alaska's constitutional right to privacy is one of the strongest in the nation, and our police department's own policies reflect that. APD is committed to using technology responsibly in line with its mission to protect and serve the people of Anchorage. But it's important that we codify our responsibility to protect the public's privacy to ensure that it has strength and permanence. The S version of the ordinance gives you a sensible and effective opportunity to do that tonight. That's all for now.
