San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office - ALPR/Live Video Camera Installation - CEQA NOE

The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office is implementing a project to install Flock Safety automated license plate reading cameras and live video cameras at various locations within the public right-of-way in California. The scope of work involves mounting cameras and solar equipment to existing streetlight or traffic signal poles, as well as installing new breakaway support poles with small concrete foundations in areas where existing infrastructure is unavailable. This initiative is designed to support public safety objectives by assisting law enforcement in identifying vehicles linked to criminal activity. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is currently listed as a forecast with a posted date of July 10, 2026. According to the Notice of Exemption, the project qualifies for categorical exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301(b) and 15303(e) because it consists of minor alterations and small accessory structures that do not result in significant environmental impacts. Commander Ian Doughty serves as the primary point of contact for this effort.
