Council approves two‑year contract with Flock Safety for automated cameras
Summary
The council approved a two-year contract with Flock Safety (Flock Group Inc.) for automated license-plate and fixed cameras; staff said placement and number were coordinated with three local police entities and at least one mobile unit has been used previously.
Macomb — The City Council approved a two-year contract with Flock Safety (Flock Group Inc.) to deploy automated cameras intended to support local law enforcement.
Council considered the contract as a budgeted item presented during committee of the whole. A council member asked whether the three police entities in town had discussed the number of cameras needed; staff responded that the agencies coordinated on placement and that camera locations are based on major entrances and exits, nearby schools and county boundaries. Staff clarified that a mobile unit has been used on a police vehicle for several years and that the new units under this contract are intended to be fixed at key streets.
The motion to approve the two-year contract passed by roll call. The transcript records the contract amount with unclear formatting; council records should be consulted for the precise dollar figure and contract details.
