Surveillance procurement
2 documents on file, spanning 2025. The chain below starts with the original agreement; each document beneath it shows what it changed.
“Cameras contracted” counts what the documents on file bought. The police department’s Flock transparency portal gives its own current count, as indexed by an aggregator on 2026-09-04T14:05:28.576Z — see the portal, its sharing list and the fact-check.
What the governing body was told before it voted, what it actually enacted, and what was signed — term by term. Click any value to read the passage it came from. A row marked silent is not a disagreement: it means only some of the three sources address that term at all, which is a different criticism and sometimes a fairer one.
Not on file: enactment. No ordinance or resolution authorising this contract has been located, so what the governing body approved cannot be compared against what was signed. That is a statement about the record we hold, not a finding that no vote occurred.

1 system named in this jurisdiction’s procurement documents, 1 of which is documented as integrating with FlockOS. Plate readers are one layer; what a camera network is worth to an agency depends on what it is plugged into.
“. FISCAL IMPACT OPD intends to utilize $2,252,000 (over 2 years) in City funding for Flock Safety software and hardware products. OPD has $1,500,000 authorized to utilize for funding Fl”the document
These are the systems named in the procurement documents we hold. A system listed here was written down in a document this jurisdiction published; that is not the same as a finding that the jurisdiction operates it, and a system missing from this list may simply have been bought under an item we have not read.
A gap means the record was not found on the jurisdiction's public portal. It is not a statement that the record does not exist, and it is not a statement about whether the jurisdiction operates ALPR.
