Since the passage of the post act in 2020, the department has published 37 impact and use policies, or IUPs.

The department has amended its IUPs 16 times, sometimes to reflect changes in policies or practices, sometimes because the surveillance technology was being deployed in a new manner or for a new purpose, and sometimes because we identified an error and acted to correct it.

The IUPs are publicly available on our website and provide a wide range of information concerning the capabilities of our surveillance technologies as well as various policies and procedures relating to those surveillance technologies.
