St. Louis Park PD lost inbound data access from Robbinsdale PD
Stopped sharing with an agencyRobbinsdale MN PD no longer appears under "Receiving Network Data From" on the St. Louis Park MN PD transparency portal, meaning Robbinsdale has stopped sharing its Flock data with St. Louis Park. St. Louis Park still lists Robbinsdale MN PD under "Sharing Network Data With," so the relationship is now one-directional: St. Louis Park shares out to Robbinsdale but no longer receives Robbinsdale data. No other sharing-list entries changed.
What does this mean?
The agency removed a sharing partner, narrowing who can search its plate data. This can follow a policy change, public pressure, or a contract decision.

St. Louis Park PD cut data retention from 60 to 30 days
Data-retention period changedThe portal's data retention period changed from 60 days to 30 days.
What does this mean?
The number of days the agency keeps plate reads changed. Minn. Stat. 13.824 requires ALPR data not linked to an active criminal investigation to be destroyed within 60 days, so a general retention period above 60 days conflicts with state law. A longer window leaves a deeper searchable history of drivers' movements, and a shorter one limits how far back a query can reach.
