The Bernalillo County Sheriff鈥檚 Office has a new automatic license plate reader partnership with public safety technology company Axon less than two weeks after terminating an agreement with a controversial surveillance company.

BCSO hopes to implement the system before the end of the year, depending on when deputies have tested and trained with the technology, Sheriff John Allen said in a Tuesday news release. The sheriff was not available for comment.

Axon already provides body cameras, digital evidence systems and license plate reader cameras for BCSO patrol vehicles. The company created the Taser but has since expanded into other public safety technology, according to the

The Albuquerque Police Department, New Mexico State Police and currently use Axon technology.

鈥淎utomatic license plate readers have proven their value in serious investigations, but effective technology is only part of the equation,鈥� Allen said in the release. 鈥淭he public should know who controls the information, why it can be searched, how long it is kept and how every use is reviewed.鈥�

The move comes after Allen criticized Flock Safety 鈥� which previously provided license plate reader cameras to the agency 鈥� for what he said was a lack of safeguards in the collected data and diminishing trust in the company.

Shortly after the sheriff鈥檚 comments, BCSO arrested a man for allegedly dismantling multiple Flock cameras and returning them to BCSO as a 鈥減olitical statement.鈥�

Only two of the cameras were associated with BCSO, spokesperson Jayme Gonzales said in a Sept. 3 news release. Allen said he did not condone the man鈥檚 actions despite his concerns regarding Flock鈥檚 oversight.

But the sheriff is hopeful that Axon鈥檚 safeguards will be better.

He said the company gives BCSO more control over license plate reader data and how long the data can be held. The agency currently has a 30-day retention period, though it hopes to extend the window.

Additionally, information will not be pooled into a national database accessed by other law enforcement agencies unless BCSO permits it.

Allen had expressed concerns over outside law enforcement agencies accessing and using New Mexico鈥檚 data for ill-intended purposes.

Axon鈥檚 system logs each user who accesses information, as well as when that information was accessed. Its system also notes the purpose of review and what is done with the data. The data can also be restricted so only certain people can use it. 

BCSO can review activity to ensure all data usage fits into the agency鈥檚 policies. Additionally, Axon has an ethics council that provides input on how the technology is used and developed over time.

Deputies can only search license plates for criminal investigations and must justify their reasoning for each use or their access will be revoked.

No deputies have been disciplined for license plate reader abuse, according to the release.

鈥淢odern tools require clear rules and public accountability,鈥� Allen said. 鈥淲e will continue investing in technology that helps protect this community, and we will remain accountable for how that technology is used.鈥�
