How aren't you able to produce an audit log? How do you provide oversight of your employees use of the system?

To whom it may concern,
Your request was for “An audit log of all ALPR queries to out-of-state law enforcement agencies between 1/1/2023 and 2/6/2024. This request is not seeking the plate numbers or any personally identifiable information. It is seeking the date and time for conducting a query in the specific date range cited. We are unable to produce a report for this information.” As stated in my previous email, we are unable to produce this record as written. However, if your request is for an audit log for searches our personnel conducted during the same time frame, that record is attached (with vehicle/registration plate information redacted).
In addition, I have attached our supervisory audit report. As of 2024, this process is now documented in a format that can now be converted to a spreadsheet.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
