Summary
The Board approved a $66,500, two-year quote to maintain the Sheriff's Office access to the Flock Safety vehicle data system; staff said the system uses automated license-plate readers to match vehicles against hot lists and does not capture facial images.
The Sheriff's Office will retain access to Flock Safety Group Inc.'s vehicle-data system after the board approved a $66,500 two-year quote. Purchasing staff said Flock cameras are automated license-plate readers that capture vehicle data and are used to alert authorities to stolen cars, wanted vehicles or suspects by matching against hot lists and databases; staff added the cameras do not capture faces.
A sheriff's office representative said the department "uses [Flock cameras] very frequently — daily" and that without the purchase the office would lose access to the database. The board moved and approved the quote by roll call after confirming the system's operational utility for local investigations.
