Agency records · KY

Elizabethtown Police Department

License plate reader records for Elizabethtown. Each fact keeps its source and checked date.

Written rules describe policy, not proof that every search follows it. Agency-reported camera totals have a different scope from community-mapped county points.

What the public record establishes

The March 2, 2026 Attorney General decision upheld withholding a camera-location record under the law-enforcement exemption. It documents the department's use of Flock at that time, not a current device inventory or a general exemption for all camera records.

Reported camera count

45 LPRs. City-linked portal-reported LPR cameras. Not every camera in Hardin County, and not a field-verified device inventory.

Source. Checked 2026-10-23; source date 2026-10-23.

Data retention

General Order 7.6 sets a 30-day maximum, with longer retention required by Kentucky law or applicable retention schedules. Evidentiary records follow the retention schedule. Actual storage and deletion behavior were not independently audited.

Source section IV.F, PDF page 6. Checked 2026-10-23; source date 2026-07-13.

Retention displayed in the public portal

The city-linked portal separately displays 30 days and describes evidence or legal-retention exceptions.

Source. Checked 2026-10-23; source date 2026-10-23.

Access and oversight

Access requires trained employees using individual credentials. Queries need a documented reason and incident number. The order requires monthly user audits and separate weekly local-hotlist reviews, with written audit records. These requirements do not establish actual compliance.

Source section IV.C-E, PDF pages 3-5. Checked 2026-10-23; source date 2026-07-13.

Access statement in the public portal

The portal states that multi-factor credentials and a valid reason are required. Its indefinite-retention sentence does not clearly identify the retained record type, so it is not used here to establish a plate-data or audit-log retention period.

Source section Access Policy. Checked 2026-10-23.

Named sharing partners

Germantown OH PD, Meade County SO KY, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

Visible examples from the outgoing list, which reports 3,264 entries and includes old/inactive labels. The examples are incomplete; the total does not establish that every entry is an active police agency or has performed searches.

Source. Checked 2026-10-23.

Other technology named in the source

Automated license plate readers, Drone as first responder program

Programs described on the city transparency page. No drone launch sites, flight tracks or operating-camera count are inferred.

Source. Checked 2026-10-23.
