Board adopts a revised license plate reader policy for its Flock cameras
After a presentation from the police department, the Board approved a revised automated license plate reader policy with no votes against. The policy bars using the cameras for traffic enforcement, facial recognition or biometric matching, requires a documented reason for every search, and adds monthly spot checks plus an annual audit. Police told the Board that Flock deletes camera data after a rolling 30 days unless it is saved to a case, that every trained officer can search the system while four officers can add plates to a hot list, and that the Flock contract runs through December 2028 with no early termination explored. The Board first heard about the cameras on September 22, 2026 and discussed a written policy at a later work session.
