PERB found that although County ordinance’s definition of surveillance technology could affect discipline, the definition was not subject to decision bargaining. The surveillance technology definition was not fundamentally about employment-related matters; rather it was primarily aimed at privacy and community safety, while its employment impacts were clearly secondary. The surveillance technology definition is more akin to use-of-force policies, implementing a racial profiling study, or requiring officers to wear body-worn cameras.
