To the Records Custodian, Ord, Nebraska Re: Public records request — automated license plate readers Under the Nebraska Public Records Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 84-712 to 84-712.09, I request copies of the following records. 1. A current inventory or list of surveillance technologies operated by or on behalf of Ord Police Department, including automated license plate readers, facial recognition, drones, gunshot detection, cell-site simulators, and networked camera systems. 2. For each technology listed, the vendor, the date it was acquired, and the policy governing its use. 3. Records showing whether Ord Police Department can access any surveillance system operated by another agency, including regional or vendor-hosted networks. If any responsive record is withheld in whole or in part, please identify the record and cite the specific exemption relied upon. I request records in electronic format where they exist in that form. If fulfilling this request would incur fees, please provide an estimate before proceeding. Thank you for your assistance. [Your name] [Your address, if required in Nebraska] [Your email]
General information, not legal advice. You are responsible for what you send. Public-records law varies by state and sometimes by agency.
Where to send it
We do not hold a checked records contact for Ord. Unsurveilled will not guess a government address from a naming convention — a wrong recipient wastes your request and undermines everything else on this page. Search for “Ord Nebraska public records request” and use the address on the jurisdiction’s own site.
Then tell us which one worked. That single fact is the most useful thing a person who has just sent a request can send back, and it means nobody after you has to look. Send it here.
When you get a response
- Save the original email or PDF exactly as it arrived, including headers.
- Check every numbered item was answered. Partial responses are common and are usually resolved by pointing out the gap.
- If the answer is “no responsive records”, that is itself a finding — but ask whether it means the agency does not operate the technology, or simply holds no document. Those are different answers.
- If you are quoted a fee, ask for a narrower scope rather than abandoning the request.
- Send us what came back. A records response is what turns a decision record into a dossier, and it closes the gaps listed above for everyone, not just for you.
