Introduction The 19B Ordinance requires certain points to be addressed in both the Surveillance Technology Policy ( STP ) and Surveillance Impact Report ( SIR ). Since the STP and SIR templates were created in early 2020, they have gone through different iterations. 2
Approach to Issues Goals were to: Make templates streamlined while retaining all Ordinance- mandated material Make templates easier to read and parse for Departments and reviewers alike Give templates a unified and consistent appearance 3
Major Changes, Part 1 Redundant passages within each template removed More detailed footer information Header information with tech name and department on every page Clearly delineated charts to organize information Clearly marked sections 4
Major Changes, Part 2 Edited text to retain content but cut down on bulk 5
Surveillance Impact Report: Expansion of Comparison to other Jurisdictions Section Holistic examination of the technology s use by other jurisdictions Departments should understand what lessons have already been learned about the technology which they are using or plan to use An examination of previous harms can help prevent future harms 6
Future PSAB Document Formatting Department response information will be highlighed in grey so that reviewers can easily distinguish department information from the template Template changes are rare, but if they take place, they will be listed as tracked changes 7
Social Media Monitoring Templates Previously: Security Camera policies had a template tailored to that specific use case Upcoming: there will be a template policy for Social Media Monitoring Technology More information will be prepopulated in the template but departments will also be able to customize as needed. 8
