| License Plate Reader / Flock |
In a 8/5/24 regular meeting Council approved funds to implement the "Flock" license plate reader program. Installation of 22 cameras and subscription cost for two years are priced at $93,534.40. It's likely the Mayor will finance the balance through the General Fund or Capital Investment Program.
THE PROGRAM: Strategically located intersections are identified within the City to place the "Flock" cameras to capture the most license plates entering and leaving the City limits.
Councilmember Steve Fields made a point to say the program will not infringe on people's privacy.
The concept of this approach is for officers and dispatchers to be alerted whenever a “Wanted” or “Hot List” vehicle or vehicle used in the commission of a crime is captured on a Flock camera. Officers will respond to the area and look for the vehicle based on the last known location. Vehicles typically placed on “Hot Lists” include stolen vehicles, wanted persons connected to vehicles, and missing persons.
