The Dodge City Police Department (DCPD) currently utilizes Flock License Plate Readers (LPRs) as a public safety tool to assist officers in serving and protecting the Dodge City community. As part of DCPD’s commitment to providing as much transparency as possible regarding the use of this technology, the department is providing the public with access to its Flock Transparency Portal: https://transparency.flocksafety.com/dodge-city-ks-pd -impact

The portal provides information and statistics regarding DCPD’s Flock LPR system, including success stories involving the technology, a Data & Usage Summary, the total number of license plate readers, policies governing use of the system, and additional information. It also includes a Public Search Audit that allows members of the public to view information regarding searches conducted through the system during the previous 30 days. All data collected through DCPD’s Flock LPR system is retained for a maximum of 30 days.

In addition to the Transparency Portal, DCPD utilizes an accountability audit feature that can flag repeated searches of the same license plate by an officer. When flagged, the officer’s access to the system will be cut until the activity is internally reviewed. If an officer is found to be abusing the Flock system they will face discipline up to and including termination from employment and could be criminally charged.

Residents are encouraged to visit the Transparency Portal to learn more about how DCPD utilizes Flock technology as a public safety resource.



El Departamento de Policía de Dodge City (DCPD) utiliza actualmente lectores de placas vehiculares Flock (LPR) como una herramienta de seguridad pública para ayudar a los oficiales a servir y proteger a la comunidad de Dodge City. Como parte del compromiso de DCPD de brindar la mayor transparencia posible con respecto al uso de esta tecnología, el departamento pone a disposición del público su Portal de Transparencia de Flock: https://transparency.flocksafety.com/dodge-city-ks-pd -impact

El portal proporciona información y estadísticas sobre el sistema Flock LPR de DCPD, incluidos casos de éxito relacionados con esta tecnología, un resumen de datos y uso, el número total de lectores de placas, las políticas que regulan el uso del sistema y otra información adicional. También incluye una Auditoría Pública de Búsquedas que permite a los miembros de la comunidad consultar información sobre las búsquedas realizadas a través del sistema durante los últimos 30 días. Todos los datos recopilados mediante el sistema Flock LPR de DCPD se conservan por un máximo de 30 días.

Además del Portal de Transparencia, DCPD utiliza una función de auditoría de responsabilidad que puede detectar búsquedas repetidas de una misma placa vehicular realizadas por un oficial. Cuando una actividad es marcada, el acceso del oficial al sistema será suspendido hasta que la actividad sea revisada internamente. Si se determina que un oficial ha hecho un uso indebido del sistema Flock, podría enfrentar medidas disciplinarias, hasta e incluyendo la terminación de su empleo, y también podría enfrentar cargos penales.

Se invita a los residentes a visitar el Portal de Transparencia para conocer más sobre cómo DCPD utiliza la tecnología Flock como un recurso de seguridad pública.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dodge City Police Investigate Threats Made Against Walmart

DODGE CITY, Kansas – At approximately 3:00 PM, Walmart customer service staff received a phone call from an anonymous individual making serious threats of violence toward the Dodge City Walmart within a specific timeframe. Officers immediately responded to the situation. Upon arrival, officers learned the individual was still on the phone with customer service staff and took over the call.

During the call, the individual continued to extend the timeframe in which the threats were expected to occur. The officer also noted that the individual appeared to be using a voice changer to disguise their voice. That timeframe has since passed, but officers remain at the location as a precaution.

The Dodge City Walmart has reopened and will remain under increased patrol.
