San Rafael Police Department uses Flock Safety technology to capture objective evidence without compromising on individual privacy. San Rafael Police Department utilizes retroactive searches to solve crimes after they've occurred. Additionally, the San Rafael Police Department utilizes real-time alerting of hotlist vehicles to capture wanted criminals. In an effort to ensure proper usage and guardrails are in place, we have made the policies and usage statistics available to the public. This transparency portal does not include information from our police patrol vehicle ALPR camera system utilizing Vigilant Solutions.
