Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. Guide to FOIP, Chapter 6, Protection of Privacy. Updated 27 February 2023. 369 • Evaluation and audit of video surveillance programs.871 In Investigation Report 034-2015, the Commissioner investigated a complaint regarding the audio surveillance of passengers on the City of Saskatoon’s (City) Access Transit busses. The Commissioner found that the City had authority to install audio surveillance on the busses for the purpose of reducing violence against transit operators, vandalism, and inappropriate customer behavior. The City had implemented practices to limit the privacy impacts on individuals including only retaining footage for a short period of time. Once the video digital recorder reached its capacity of 130 hours of footage, the system was looped and recorded over. Footage is only retrieved when there is an incident that is reported. Only the footage of the incident is retrieved and recorded to a disc or USB key. Otherwise, footage was not retrieved.
