Commission hears procurement and installation history for Flock system; first cameras installed in 2025
Summary
Officials said procurement began in 2024, the item was brought to the commission twice after vendor follow-up, and the first camera was installed in February or March 2025 after due diligence and consultation with other jurisdictions.
Commissioners and attendees pressed staff for details about how the Flock contract was approved and how installation proceeded. A speaker involved in procurement described a multi-step process, noting the item was presented as a concept and later brought back with vendor representatives; staff said they researched other vendors and consulted with Las Cruces purchasing before finalizing the contract.
Staff said procurement discussions began in 2024 and that the first camera was installed "in February or March of '25," making the system recently operational after several months of due-diligence and installation work. The presenter said the city did not treat the purchase as sole-source and that multiple procurement steps were followed before commission approval.
