Police present Flock camera system proposal with four cameras and two license‑plate readers
Summary
Gladwin police and Flock representatives presented a proposal for four cameras on main throughfares and two license‑plate readers; presentation listed $3,000 per camera and was for information only—no council action was taken.
Chief Binger introduced a presentation from Flock Cameras representatives about replacing non‑functioning cameras and adding new units on main entry routes into the city.
Kerry McCormack, Agustin Campuzano and Jalen Johnson, participating via Zoom, described a configuration of four cameras on the city’s main throughfares and two license‑plate readers. The presentation noted license‑plate readers would notify police when a crime is detected or when there is a missing‑child alert. The transcript states a unit cost of $3,000 per camera. Chief Binger said prior research on camera replacement was done by former Chief Killian and that current cameras had not been functioning for years.
The council received the presentation as informational; no motion or vote was taken. No technical or policy details beyond camera counts and a per‑camera cost were recorded in the transcript, and no privacy or procurement policy discussion appears in the meeting minutes.
Next steps: the presentation was informational only; if council chooses to move forward with procurement, staff would need to return with a formal proposal, cost breakdown and recommended procurement path.
