# 9-22-2026 Bountiful City Council Work Session

The Bountiful City Council held a work session on September 22, 2026, featuring a detailed presentation by Police Chief Beer on the use of License Plate Reader (LPR) technology by the Bountiful Police Department. The discussion focused on the operational policies, data privacy safeguards, and investigative benefits of the LPR system, which has been in use since early 2025 with equipment provided by Motorola. The chief emphasized the department's more restrictive practices compared to state law, including limited user access, a 90-day data retention policy, semiannual audits, and no use of hot list alerts. Council members expressed support for continuing the use of LPR technology under these strict guidelines and discussed potential policy updates in response to upcoming state legislative changes. No procurement actions such as new contracts or budget allocations were reported during this session.
