C. Use of any Surveillance Technology for any purpose not permitted by the Ordinance is prohibited. D. Use of Surveillance Technology for the purpose of monitoring people on the basis of a) protected First Amendment activity or association or b) any protected class including race or ethnicity, is strictly prohibited. 3. Data Collection. Surveillance Technology produces Surveillance Data upon which the City relies for governmental functions. It is the policy of the City to ensure that the Surveillance Technology it uses collects no more Surveillance Data than is necessary to achieve the specific, authorized purposes of that particular Surveillance Technology, and that any such Surveillance Data is accurate and up to date. It is the policy of the City to ensure that any and all Surveillance Data is collected for specified, explicit, and authorized purposes, and is not to be further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes. 4. Data Access. City employees may only have access to Surveillance Data when such access is necessary for their official duties. The Department Head or Compliance Officer of each City department shall report to the Information Technology Department (“ITD”), the Mayor and the City Solicitor, the name of each employee, contractor, or other agent that requires access to Surveillance Data. The Department Head or Compliance Officer shall state the specific Surveillance Data to which each individual may have access. The City may, at any time, with or without notice to the individual, terminate any individual’s access to Surveillance Technology or Surveillance Data. To the extent technically possible, the City shall create an automated record each time Surveillance Data is accessed, including the time and date and, if possible, the reason for the access.

4 5. Data Protection. No Surveillance Data shall be stored, accessed, or transmitted without proper encryption, access and password controls, and access-oversight approved by the City’s Chief Information Officer or their designee in ITD. Each City department’s Compliance Officer shall complete and submit to ITD a list of each type of Surveillance Technology currently used by that department, the Surveillance data it collects, the staff who have access to the Surveillance Data, and the purpose for which it is used as required under Section II. 2(A). ITD shall ensure that proper procedures are in place to protect all Surveillance Data. In the event that any department is, in the judgment of ITD, unable to implement the security measures necessary to adequately protect Surveillance Data, ITD shall immediately contact the Mayor and the City Solicitor and propose additional measures to protect Surveillance Data from inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure. 6. Data Retention. Surveillance Data shall not be maintained any longer than is necessary to achieve its approved purpose(s), provided that the City shall retain Surveillance Data for the periods required by the Massachusetts Public Records Law, G.L. c. 66, § 10, the Massachusetts Municipal Records Retention Schedule, or any other applicable laws or regulations. Exceptions to the Massachusetts Municipal Records Retention Schedule may be requested from the Commonwealth by the City Solicitor at the request of a Department Head as follows: A. A Department Head may seek exceptions for a particular type of Surveillance Data by seeking the exception explicitly in a Surveillance Technology Impact Report or Technology-Specific Surveillance Use Policy; or B. A Department Head may seek an exception for a particular type of Surveillance Data from the Mayor on a case-by-case basis. C. All exceptions and the reasons therefor shall be included in a department’s Annual Surveillance Report. 7. Public and Third-Party Access. The City shall comply with its obligations pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, (G. L. c. 4, § 7 cl. 26, and G. L. c. 66, § 10 et seq.) and any other applicable law, regulation, or order of a court or state or federal administrative agency of competent jurisdiction that requires the disclosure of particular Surveillance Data. The City’s intent is to make as much information as possible available to the public without compromising the privacy of any Identifiable Individual(s), as defined in Section 10.62 of the Ordinance. The City shall, to the extent possible and permitted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, anonymize, aggregate, and/or geomask Surveillance Data where necessary to protect the privacy of Identifiable Individuals. While some data may not on its own reveal the personal information of Identifiable Individuals, when combined with other data it may reveal information that would otherwise be exempt from disclosure by law. In the event that a City employee suspects that the release of data would present such a risk, the employee shall report that risk to the Department Head or the Compliance Officer for that employee’s department and the Department Head or the Compliance Officer shall contact the Mayor and City Solicitor requesting a legal opinion from the City Solicitor as to whether the data is exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Law or other applicable law or regulation. Surveillance Data may only be accessed by authorized City employees, as described in Section II. 4, and may only be distributed to third parties in accordance with this section of this Policy. However, any department may share Surveillance Data with the Police Department under Exigent Circumstances. 8. Training.

5 Upon beginning employment or within a reasonable time after commencing employment, any City employee or City contractor who will be involved in the collection of Surveillance Data or use of Surveillance Technology shall be given a copy of the Surveillance Ordinance and this Policy for their review and shall be trained by their Department Head, supervisor, or other appropriate person assigned to conduct such trainings in ensuring that the activities to be performed by that staff or contractor comply with the Surveillance Ordinance and this Policy. 9. Use of Surveillance Technology in Exigent Circumstances The Police Department and the Fire Department may temporarily acquire or use Surveillance Technology in Exigent Circumstances, provided that, within 90 days following the end of those Exigent Circumstances (unless the 90-day deadline is extended pursuant to the ordinance), any such acquisition or use is reported and a Surveillance Technology Impact Report, and, if necessary, a technology-specific surveillance use policy regarding that surveillance technology is submitted to the City Council; and the surveillance technology is described in the next Annual Surveillance Report submitted to the City Council pursuant to Section 10.63(c) of the Ordinance following the end of those Exigent Circumstances. The Chief of Police may, pursuant to Section 10.63(c)(3), redact any public documents submitted under this Ordinance to the extent required to comply with an order by a court of competent jurisdiction, or to exclude information that, in the reasonable discretion of the Chief of Police, if disclosed, would materially jeopardize an ongoing investigation or otherwise represent a significant risk to public safety and security provided, however, that any information redacted pursuant to this paragraph will be released in the next annual surveillance report following the point at which the reason for such redaction no longer exists. 10. Use of Surveillance Technology Requiring a Warrant The Somerville Police Department shall comply with all applicable laws relative to obtaining a warrant or other court-ordered permission prior to using Surveillance Technology or collecting Surveillance Data; and this policy shall not be interpreted to authorize any use of Surveillance Technology or Surveillance Data absent such warrant or court-ordered permission otherwise required by law. For each Surveillance Technology, information regarding when a warrant is required will be included in the Surveillance Technology Impact Report and, if applicable, Technology-Specific Use Policy. III. Video Surveillance Technology, Data and Use by the Police Department It is the purpose of this section to provide general procedures for video surveillance operations conducted by the Somerville Police Department (“SPD”), to establish control processes and procedures to ensure the protection of individuals’ civil rights, and to ensure the efficiency and the effectiveness of SPD video surveillance operations. All such operations conducted pursuant to this section shall be in compliance with the Ordinance and this Policy. The City provides, operates and maintains video surveillance equipment in an attempt to create a safe and secure environment as well as to protect the health, safety and welfare of all those who live, work, visit and transact business within the City. Video Surveillance operations are essential for crime prevention, scene reconstruction and evidence gathering. It is a key resource which aids the Somerville Police and other municipal officials to secure vulnerable sites by producing real time views of both crime scenes and emergency scenes and by allowing Somerville Police command staff and senior municipal city personnel to manage the City's response in an efficient and timely manner. 1. Video Surveillance Equipment Location Video surveillance equipment is located in publicly disclosed locations throughout the City at the direction of the Chief of Police to assist the Somerville Police Department in detecting and deterring crime and acts of terrorism, safeguarding against potential threats to Homeland Security, managing emergency response situations (including

6 natural and manmade disasters) and assisting other City Officials with the provision of municipal services. The Department anticipates that there are times when it will be deemed necessary for video surveillance equipment to be placed in undisclosed locations. Video surveillance equipment that is placed in an undisclosed location will be used on a temporary basis for investigations where information of comparable investigative value cannot be obtained by other less intrusive means. Such video surveillance equipment shall only be permitted to be placed in undisclosed locations when: A. Exigent circumstances exist. B. Reasonable suspicion of criminal activity has been established. C. A lawfully issued search warrant has been obtained. D. The Chief of Police determines that compelling circumstances in the public’s interest warrants use of certain technology. It is the policy of the Somerville Police Department to employ surveillance methods in accordance with principles and operational protocols established in the Ordinance and this Policy. 2. Procedure A. The Somerville Police Department by and through its Chief of Police is solely responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of the City’s Video Surveillance System including: I. Storage II.
