Told, enacted, signed

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.

CM 25-631 Attachment E: Flock Safety - Redmond MOU

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.

The rest of the stack

2 systems named in this jurisdiction’s procurement documents, 2 of which are 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.

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.

What we could not find

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.
