Washington ESSB 6002 is in effect
A clear path through Washington’s new ALPR requirements.

Vendor-independent
No plate-read data required
One program.
Several obligations.
21day general retention limit
2years of audit trail data
1×internal audit each year
Dec. 12027 reporting milestone
THE GOVERNANCE GAP
The law reaches beyond the camera system.
Washington’s framework connects policy, system configuration, training, access records, data sharing, retention, and public reporting. A vendor dashboard can describe activity inside its own platform. It cannot determine whether the agency’s complete program aligns with its obligations.
ALPR Governance organizes those moving parts into one review, with documented findings and a practical correction path for agency leadership, counsel, and the person assigned to the internal audit.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A working governance package.
Built for decisions and follow-through, not a shelf.
Policy and registration check
Review of required policies, publication, training documentation, registration materials, and upcoming model-policy alignment.
Controls review
Assessment of retention, purging, access, authorized purpose, sharing, and vendor-control documentation.
Internal-audit toolkit
An audit procedure, evidence checklist, and reusable worksheet for the agency’s own annual internal review.
Reporting readiness
A field map and preparation checklist for the annual public report required beginning December 1, 2027.
A PRACTICAL FIRST STEP
Start with the records your agency already has.
The launch review is intentionally document-based. We work from policies, contracts, registration materials, training records, configuration summaries, data-sharing arrangements, and audit documentation.
Plate-read data stays out of scope.The initial review does not require license plate numbers, vehicle images, or investigative search data.

QUESTIONS
Before you request a review.
Is this a legal opinion or compliance certification?
No. The review is an independent governance assessment and audit-preparation service. It identifies gaps and organizes evidence for agency decision-makers and counsel; final legal conclusions remain with the agency.
Does this replace the agency’s required internal audit?
No. ESSB 6002 requires each agency operating or accessing an ALPR system to conduct an internal audit at least annually. The review prepares the procedure, evidence, and findings the agency can use in that work.
How long does a review take?
Timing depends on the size of the program and the completeness of the agency’s records. Scope and delivery timing are confirmed before work begins.
Can you review more than one ALPR vendor?
Yes. The method is vendor-independent and can account for multiple systems within the same agency program.
