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's disclosed license plate reader locations grew from 8 to 13 on the state roster
OtherThe agency's MN BCA license-plate-reader roster entry for fixed/stationary device locations was substantially rewritten. Previous list (8 named intersections, one with 2 devices): Louisiana Avenue at Wayzata Boulevard; 16th Street West at Park Place Boulevard; Park Place Boulevard at Interstate 394 (2 devices); 16th Street West at Gamble Drive; Parkdale Drive at Park Place Boulevard; Excelsior Boulevard at France Avenue South; State Highway 7 at Lynn Avenue South; 8332 State Highway 7. Current list (13 named intersections, three with 2 devices): Park Place Boulevard and 16th Street West; Park Place Boulevard and Gamble Drive (2 devices); 16th Street West and Gamble Drive; 3015 Raleigh Avenue South; 8124 State Highway 7 (2 devices); State Highway 7 and Aquila Avenue South; 8458 State Highway 7; 37th Street West and Aquila Avenue South; 36th Street and Boone Avenue South (2 devices); Louisiana Avenue South and 14th Street West; Wayzata Boulevard and Kentucky Avenue South; Park Place Boulevard and Wayzata Boulevard; Park Place Boulevard and Cedar Lake Road. Some entries appear to be the same intersections restated in different word order; others (3015 Raleigh Avenue South, 8124/8458 State Highway 7, 37th Street West and Aquila Avenue South, 36th Street and Boone Avenue South, Wayzata Boulevard and Kentucky Avenue South, Park Place Boulevard and Cedar Lake Road) are newly disclosed, while several previous locations (Excelsior Boulevard at France Avenue South, State Highway 7 at Lynn Avenue South, 8332 State Highway 7, Parkdale Drive at Park Place Boulevard) no longer appear. St. Louis Park PD's separately-tracked Flock transparency portal is unaffected by this roster-only change and remains Active.

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.
