In a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the security measures in place for a new housing project, particularly in comparison to existing community safety protocols. A key discussion point was the effectiveness of Flock cameras, which are designed to enhance security by reading license plates and monitoring who enters neighborhoods.

Commissioner Ramirez and other officials expressed apprehension about the project's security, noting that permanent supportive housing typically has a low percentage of crime prevention measures in place. The Tarrant County Housing Finance Corporation highlighted their success in reducing crime through the installation of these cameras, which are monitored in real-time by the Fort Worth command center. This system allows for immediate police response when suspicious activity is detected.

The conversation underscored the importance of integrating advanced security technologies in new developments to ensure community safety. However, it remains unclear whether the new housing project will implement similar measures, as officials admitted they did not have information on the security features planned for the project's first two phases. The meeting concluded with a call for further clarification on the security protocols that will be adopted to protect residents and deter crime.
