Multiple residents used the open‑comment period to urge Boulder's City Council and Police Department to reconsider a contract renewal with Flock Safety, a company that operates networked license‑plate and camera systems.

Marcus Laben told council "Flock cameras have critical vulnerabilities that mean any attacker with a computer and a ladder could view, download, edit, and replace anything on the camera's computer," summarizing reporting and FOIA disclosures and alleging unsecured storage and overseas access to some camera data. Marcus also cited an audit finding that only a small fraction of searches were associated with a case number and that many entries had no meaningful justification.

Taylor Colty (speaking later in the sequence) described Flock's expansion into broader camera and AI data collection and warned that Boulder's shared database "could be shared on a national level in seconds," pointing to local examples where Flock data was used in investigations and to reports of access on cybercrime forums.

Council members asked staff clarifying questions. The city's staff response noted there has been no change to the city's limited data‑sharing practices with Flock and that the IT department has this area on its work plan for a high‑level evaluation of emerging technologies. Staff also said they are monitoring state legislation and that the city manager is exploring engagement with outside experts on surveillance technology.

Speakers asked for clearer reporting and for council to consider policy updates. Council member Taisha called the public's submissions "valid and reliable evidence on how flock data has been used and abused" and said she was "hopeful that we can update our policies." Staff committed to recirculating earlier materials about Flock and to follow up with a more detailed briefing if council wanted it.

No formal council action on Flock took place at the meeting; the topic was discussed as part of follow‑up and policy review planning.
