The five-year agreement with Ubicquia and Flock Safety must first go to the full city council for approval.
"We have ample evidence that Smart Streetlights and ALPRs help the San Diego Police Department quickly identify and apprehend suspects in deadly crimes and bring them to justice, which makes our communities safer," Mayor Todd Gloria said."I appreciate the many hours our police department has dedicated to ensuring transparency around the use of these important tools and look forward to council consideration of the contract that will enable us to deploy them.
The police department received approval by the City Council in August for the use of the combined Smart Streetlight cameras and ALPR technologies in an initial 500 locations citywide. "Instead of holding press conferences and creating presentations to make excuses, the mayor should spend his time doing the work that was assigned to him and that he has been completely aware of for the last two years," Hall said.
When the council voted to allow the technologies to move forward in August, City Council President Sean Elo-Rivera said he was frustrated at how the conversation on the smart streetlights and license plate readers was being presented — as a false choice between wanting safety or valuing civil liberties.
