County staff flags accounting issues with Flock ALPR cameras and pending legislation
Summary
Prosecutor said county records show 15 cameras on the county account but Flock reported 70; staff will ask Flock to correct the account. The presenter warned state and federal bills could change retention rules and contract economics for license-plate-reader providers.
During the prosecutor’s budget presentation officials discussed disagreements between Flock’s account counts and local records and potential policy changes in coming legislative sessions. The presenter said the county’s account should show 15 Flock cameras, with two assigned to Bloomfield; Flock’s portal reportedly still lists 70 cameras attached to the account, and staff will contact the vendor to correct the attribution. "I think what has happened here, we have 15. Bloomfield has 2," the prosecutor said, and: "...that's the only reason I can I can figure why they have 70?"
Members also discussed proposed changes to data-retention rules and other measures that could be filed in the state legislature and at the federal level; the presenter predicted action this session and recommended monitoring developments because retention policy and mandated defaults could materially affect vendor contracts and county costs.
