Hello,

APD does not use the Clearview AI and we are not the custodians of the documents you seek.

Thank You.

From: e

Thank you. My request does not specify only current documents but any existing documents for when APD did use Clearview AI software, which the public records request that I reference proves that APD was using the software in 2019.

Thank you for your cooperation in satisfying this request.

From: Atlanta Police Department

Hello,

You would need to reach out to Clearview AI.

Have a good day.

From: e

Thank you.

The Atlanta Police Department did not have any training documents, manuals, or user guides for Atlanta Police Department staff to use Clearview AI software?

Am I to understand that the Atlanta Police Department did not provide any training or materials to guide staff when staff were using Clearview AI?

From: Atlanta Police Department

E,

This is the only document within the department that I’m aware of. I’ll check again to see if we have anything related specific to what you are looking for.
