SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
Privacy Office is holding a public workshop to bring together leading
government, academic, policy, and international experts to discuss the
impact on privacy and civil liberties of closed circuit television
(CCTV). This workshop will provide a forum to begin a discussion to
inform development of best practices for the use of CCTV by government
agencies. This public workshop is particularly timely given that
government agencies at all levels are expressing interest in the use of
CCTV, and DHS has awarded a number of grants that have been used to
facilitate its use. The workshop will explore how CCTV technology can
be used in a manner that respects the privacy and civil liberties of
the American public. Development of best practices for the use of this
technology will aid in building public trust that privacy and civil
liberties will be considered when making decisions to use CCTV. The
two-day workshop will consist of a series of panel discussions
exploring a variety of perspectives regarding the use of CCTV,
including technology, law enforcement, community, international, and
legal and policy perspectives. The workshop will culminate in a panel
discussion on best practices for CCTV, during which panelists will
share their various perspectives and individual recommendations.
Workshop attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions after each
panel.
The workshop is open to the public, and no fee is required for
attendance.
Topics for Comment: To develop a comprehensive record regarding
best practices for CCTV, the DHS Privacy Office also invites interested
parties to submit written comments as described below. Comments should
be received on or before Friday, November 30, 2007, and should be as
specific as possible. The Privacy Office is particularly interested in
receiving comments on the following topics:
1. Are there existing state, local, or international programs that
have developed privacy and civil liberties guidelines for CCTV that can
serve as resources for the development of best practices?
2. How can CCTV systems be designed in a manner that respects
privacy and civil liberties?
3. What measures are necessary to protect privacy and civil
liberties when governments have the ability to link into privately
owned CCTV networks or have access to images and footage that such
networks have captured?
4. How can Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) be used as a means of
protecting privacy in this area? What would make for an effective PIA?
How can government agencies incorporate the findings of PIAs into their
CCTV networks and guidelines?
5. What are the privacy and civil liberties best practices you
would recommend for government use of CCTV?
All submissions received must include the docket number: DHS-2007-
0076. Written comments may be submitted by any one of the following
methods:
