City Council Addresses Resident Concerns Over Flock Camera Data Privacy, Seeks Flock Representation
The City Council held an open discussion regarding concerns about Flock cameras and the data they extract.

The discussion included insights from the police department on how the cameras are used locally, emphasizing that they capture still images of license plates in public areas without constant recording or monitoring of vehicle interiors. There was a consensus to invite Flock representatives to a future council meeting to address these concerns publicly, specifically targeting the July 28th meeting.
