Wednesday, Brookline’s Advisory Committee is having a meeting of its Public Safety Subcommittee to consider its recommendation on regulating law enforcement use of facial recognition technology in Brookline. The public is invited to attend and participate. If this recommendation passes, Brookline could be the next municipality in Massachusetts to ban or limit governmental use of facial recognition technology.

The meeting starts at 6pm and is scheduled to end at 8pm. It will be in the School Committee Meeting Room at Brookline Town Hall, 333 Washington Street, 5th Floor, Brookline, MA 02445.

The subcommittee also welcomes written comments, which will be circulated to members of the subcommittee if they are sent to Janice Kahn, the subcommittee chair, at jske514@aol.com and/or to lportscher@brooklinema.gov no later than 12:00 noon on Tuesday, October 22nd.

Any letters written to the Subcommittee members themselves should use regular mail, not email.
