Cities, counties and their actual decisions

A termination vote, temporary pause, camera removal and provider change are different actions. Each record below describes what its dated source establishes and what still needs confirmation.

211 decision records · 14 additional restriction records

These are records, not a count of unique governments. Some records group several agencies or revisit the same place. They must not be added together as a cancellation total. Read the audit and count definitions.

Arizona

Council approval October 15, 2026

Tempe

Council approved city ALPR-use prohibition after August Flock cancellation

Status: 6-1 ordinance approval confirmed; effective date and records deletion unverified

Ordinance O2026.46 restricts city and police purchase, operation and access to ALPR systems and data, with limited investigative and non-law-enforcement exceptions. Tempe had already disabled its city Flock network and canceled that contract in August. This does not affect Arizona State University cameras or other municipalities. Signed final text, data disposition and physical removal remain to be checked.

Read the dated source · Official record

Audit note. ABC15 and Arizona's Family report the October 15 6-1 ordinance approval. The city's September 24 agenda identifies O2026.46 and its scheduled final hearing; a signed final ordinance, effective date, completed data deletion and physical camera removal remain under verification.

October 6, 2026

Scottsdale

Council directed staff to plan a conditional Flock exit while preserving an ALPR replacement

Status: Planned provider phase-out by June 30, 2027 if a replacement is ready; existing Flock system remains active

The unanimous motion directs staff to exclude Flock from the proposed fiscal 2027-28 budget, plan how to end the contract by June 30, 2027 if a replacement system is operational, return December 1 with a proposed ALPR ordinance and begin an initial city audit within 90 days. It is not a completed termination, camera shutdown, vendor switch, audit, enacted restriction or end to ALPR use.

August 26, 2026

Surprise

Police closed the flagged-search review and cleared the officer

Status: No misuse substantiated; technical audit-system error identified and program decision remains separate

Police said a technical glitch in Flock's internal auditing wrongly flagged the searches and returned the officer to duty. This corrects the earlier potential-misuse status. The city's separate decision concerning the camera program is not evidence that the officer committed wrongdoing.

Reported August 6, 2026; meeting date under verification

Pinal County

Sheriff directed staff not to renew the Flock contract when it expires

Status: Nonrenewal announced; end-of-September expiration reported; completed shutdown and removal not verified

Jen Barber reported Sheriff Ross Teeple’s nonrenewal announcement on August 6 and described a Wednesday Board of Supervisors meeting. The meeting date needs confirmation from the minutes. The linked sheriff’s follow-up places expiration at the end of September. The sources do not establish completed termination, camera removal or deletion of retained data.

September 5, 2026

Payson

Town announced its decision to end the Flock contract

Status: Contract-ending decision confirmed; operational shutdown, camera removal and final closeout remain under verification

Jen Barber first flagged the announcement and reported that ending the relationship will also close a rare public transparency window into system use and sharing. Arizona's Family independently quoted the town's statement that continued Flock use no longer aligned with residents' direction and expectations. The available public record does not yet establish the effective termination date, when collection stopped, physical removal, or data disposition.

Suspended September 4; zero-camera status reported September 23, 2026

Cottonwood

Cottonwood reduces its 11-camera Flock network to zero

Status: Operational removal reported after council work session; no permanent technology ban or enacted ordinance

Jen Barber reports that the city moved from the earlier suspension and covered cameras to a zero-camera Flock network after the September 22 work session. The report leaves future technology open only after greater public involvement. Contract closeout, retained-data deletion and any future procurement remain under verification.

Read the dated source

Audit note. Jen Barber's September 23 original report supports the zero-camera status after the work session. Contract closeout, retained-data deletion and a permanent legal ban remain unverified.

Arkansas

September 17, 2026

Washington County

Quorum Court bars county funding for automated license plate reader systems and related data services

Status: Final county funding restriction enacted; no county system existed and no camera removal occurred

The 13-2 vote prevents county money from being used to acquire, operate, maintain or expand ALPR systems. It does not prohibit the Sheriff's Office from using information obtained from outside law-enforcement agencies, businesses or private individuals. The tracker therefore classifies the action as a preventive funding restriction rather than a cancellation, operational pause, technology ban or removal.

September 25, 2026

Camden

Police chief announces Flock contract exit; cameras covered pending removal

Status: Announced exit and local-use stop; physical removal and final closeout pending

Interim Chief Cortney Parker said Camden Police Department would discontinue its Flock contract over transparency concerns and reported vendor discrepancies. The cameras remain on site temporarily but are to be covered and not used by Camden police while removal is arranged. The final termination paperwork, camera removal and data disposition are not yet verified.

Council approved October 6, 2026

Fayetteville

Council voted 7-0 for a preemptive ban on city support for ALPR systems

Status: Council-approved ordinance; mayoral signature, codification and effective date not independently verified; police do not currently operate ALPRs

The ordinance bars city funds and property from supporting automated license plate readers or paid access to their data, with a narrow parking-management exception limited to citation enforcement and deletion within 48 hours unless data is needed for a citation. This is a preemptive municipal restriction, not cancellation or suspension of an existing police program, a private-camera ban or a finding of local misuse.

Read the dated source

Audit note. Current and earlier original local reporting support the proposed city-resource ban, parking exception and absence of an existing police ALPR program. The official calendar confirms the October 6 meeting. Passage and effective status remain unverified.

California

October 13 council meeting; reported October 15, 2026

Morro Bay

Five outside departments' search access revoked; council keeps ALPR program

Status: Targeted sharing-access reduction; cameras operating and broader policy revisions only proposed

New Times quotes a police commander saying access for five outside departments was revoked because searches omitted required case numbers or reasons, not because misuse was confirmed. A motion to discontinue the Motorola program failed. Council directed staff to draft retention, audit and sharing revisions, but no new limit took effect at that meeting. The 10 fixed and one mobile reader remain in use; the linked staff report returned 403.

Audit note. Review of this record is still needed.

October 7, 2026

Richmond

City Council removed proposed Axon plate readers from a broader surveillance contract and sent the ALPR component back for negotiation and a future vote

Status: Replacement decision deferred; existing Flock readers remain authorized through December 31, 2026

The 5-2 vote approved Axon drones and other surveillance cameras plus a separate Verkada agreement, but excluded the proposed one-for-one replacement of Richmond's 110 Flock readers. This is a completed council hold on the replacement procurement, not an immediate camera shutdown, cancellation of the current Flock term, final rejection of Axon or permanent ALPR prohibition.

Audit note. Review of this record is still needed.

October 7, 2026

Fullerton

City Council voted 3-1 to suspend operation of 19 Flock readers for six months

Status: Six-month operational pause directed; contract remains active through 2028

The pause is intended to allow a public town hall, an ALPR policy review and a review of Flock's audit protocols. The vote does not terminate the contract, require hardware removal, establish deletion of retained data or settle the city's final policy.

Read the dated source · Official record

Audit note. The official item asks the council to provide direction on the existing 19-camera program. The meeting page says actions and results are not yet available, so no vote or policy change is inferred.

August 11; updated September 7, 2026

Grass Valley

Police indefinitely suspend fixed ALPR use and end Flock contract

Status: Contract exit and shutdown remain in force; replacement work orders canceled; no permanent ordinance

The police chief announced an indefinite suspension and contract exit on August 11. After residents saw crews reinstall several cameras over Labor Day weekend, police disconnected at least two replacements. Flock said an automated maintenance system had mistaken the city's early removal for equipment failures because termination was not fully processed; it canceled the replacement work orders and said it was expediting termination. The episode does not indicate that the city restarted the program, and no permanent ALPR ban was enacted.

September 11, 2026

San Jose

Department blocks personal-device access to Flock and other sensitive systems after confirmed unauthorized searches

Status: Access restriction and officer termination confirmed; POST review referred and no criminal charges filed

San Jose police said an officer used a personal device for unauthorized off-duty Flock searches in a family domestic-violence matter and shared a victim's vehicle location with a relative who was the suspect. The officer was terminated. The department now restricts personal-device access and is testing additional auditing tools. The matter was referred to California POST, but neither the officer nor the relative was criminally charged.

August 25, 2026

Antioch

Council approves Axon replacement while the existing Flock contract remains active

Status: Final provider-purchase vote; Flock shutdown and physical replacement pending

Council approved a 49-month Axon package with 55 fixed ALPR locations and six mobile systems. Police said replacing Flock would be prioritized, but approximately 12 months remained on the existing agreement and early termination required legal review. This is a provider switch, not an ALPR cancellation.

August 18, 2026

Hayward

Council approves five-year Axon replacement for 64 Flock readers

Status: Final provider switch; ALPR surveillance continues under a broader technology contract

The approved nearly $3 million package replaces 64 Flock readers with Axon ALPRs and also includes eight drone-as-first-responder aircraft and other real-time technology. The city changed vendors rather than ending ALPR use.

September 15, 2026

Santa Barbara

Council delays any replacement for removed Flock cameras during public policy review

Status: Final 5-2 interim no-replacement vote; future ALPR policy remains open

The council directed staff to open public comment and return with a review timeline. Police will operate without license plate readers during the interim, which staff said could last a year or more. This is not a permanent ban, and the city reported no documented local misuse finding.

Audit note. The dated source supports the reported action. Later changes and completed implementation require separate records.

September 22, 2026

Watsonville

Council cuts the Flock network from 37 cameras to 20 and adopts new data safeguards

Status: Final 5-2 policy restriction and authorized partial reduction; completed physical reduction under verification

Council limited routine retention to seven days, ended outside-jurisdiction sharing, required quarterly independent audits and directed a public town hall. The contract remains active through September 2027. No program cancellation or local misuse finding occurred, and removal or deactivation of the 17 excess cameras has not yet been confirmed.

Audit note. The dated source supports the reported action. Later changes and completed implementation require separate records.

September 8, 2026; contract expiry September 11

Albany

Council rejected a replacement system and allowed the fixed Flock network contract to expire

Status: Fixed-network nonrenewal; separate parking-enforcement pilot continues; physical removal under verification

Original Albany Scanner reporting records a 4-0 vote with one abstention against replacement. This does not end the separate parking-enforcement ALPR pilot. Hardware removal and final contract closeout need separate confirmation.

Audit note. Dated evidence checked September 26, 2026. Implementation limits are identified above.

September 29, 2026

San Francisco

Police announce leadership approval for access after 30 days and removal from the Flock platform after 30 days

Status: Partial access and sharing restriction; cameras remain active and city retention stays at 12 months

Officers will need leadership clearance and a demonstrated criminal-investigation connection to access city-held ALPR records older than 30 days. SFPD data is to leave the Flock platform after 30 days, curtailing platform sharing, but the city still retains records for 12 months. This is not a 30-day deletion mandate, shutdown, cancellation, removal or completed misuse finding; the complete notices and effective date remain under verification.

Audit note. Review of this record is still needed.

Scheduled for City Council consideration October 6, 2026

Santa Ana

Council scheduled to consider directing staff to report on the ALPR program, contract-ending options and outside-agency access

Status: Agenda-stage request; no direction, audit result, cancellation, pause or restriction verified

Voice of OC reports that the proposed direction would require staff to return within one month with the overdue one-year update, options for ending Santa Ana's Flock and Motorola contracts and a report on outside agencies accessing the system. Councilmember support for cancellation is advocacy before the meeting, not a council decision. The linked official PrimeGov item returned a 403 during verification, so the exact request currently relies on the original local report.

Read the dated source

Audit note. Voice of OC supports the proposed one-month staff report, contract-ending options and outside-access review. The linked PrimeGov item returned 403, so the tracker attributes the details to the report and does not claim a council vote, completed audit or operational change.

Scheduled for City Council consideration October 6, 2026

Fullerton

Council scheduled to provide direction on the city's existing ALPR program

Status: Agenda-stage policy review; no vote, cancellation, pause or restriction verified

Fullerton's official item identifies 19 Flock cameras and proposes that the council provide direction to staff regarding the existing program. The meeting page listed the item on the final agenda but said actions and results were unavailable because minutes were not finalized. The entry therefore does not infer continued use, termination or a new policy from the scheduled discussion.

Read the dated source

Audit note. The official item asks the council to provide direction on the existing 19-camera program. The meeting page says actions and results are not yet available, so no vote or policy change is inferred.

Scheduled for City Council presentation October 6, 2026

Brea

Council scheduled to receive an integrated-crime-center update and ALPR program presentation

Status: Information-stage presentation; no proposed or completed vote, cancellation, pause or restriction verified

Voice of OC reported the ALPR presentation, and Brea's official calendar confirmed the October 6 council meeting. The accessible city page did not expose the agenda item's full text, and no meeting result was available when checked. This entry records a scheduled update only and does not characterize it as a contract review outcome or operational change.

City Council vote October 6, 2026

Los Angeles

Council halted a proposed Axon and Ubicquia streetlight-camera pilot for committee review

Status: Temporary predeployment delay and Public Safety Committee referral; broader ALPR programs and contracts remain in place

The council voted 10–4 to assert jurisdiction over the Police Commission decision and pause the proposed three-month pilot. The item was referred to the Public Safety Committee with a goal of returning to the full council by October 23. This is not cancellation of the broader Axon contract, a permanent streetlight-camera prohibition, termination of every LAPD ALPR system or a completed final policy.

Audit note. Review of this record is still needed.

Councilmember announcement October 13, 2026

San Diego

Councilmember Stephen Whitburn called for the city to turn off its Flock cameras and cancel the contract

Status: Proposed action with a reported five-member council majority; no motion, vote or operational change yet

Voice of San Diego counts five of nine council members as publicly opposed to continuing the system. Mayor Todd Gloria supports it and may veto council action; six votes would be needed to override. Whitburn pointed to the expected November Public Safety Committee surveillance review and a later full-council decision. The cameras remain active, and no termination or removal order has been adopted.

Colorado

Cancellation requested March 24; remaining equipment removed and contract end announced October 7, 2026

Custer County

Sheriff's office ended its Flock contract and confirmed removal of the remaining camera equipment

Status: Contract termination and physical removal complete; retained-data disposition unverified

The sheriff's office said it initially operated three readers, later limited sharing to Colorado agencies and decided to cancel amid reported misuse elsewhere and local privacy concerns. Two poles were cut down in early August; a contractor removed the remaining equipment before the October 7 announcement. The office says it has no current plan for another ALPR system or photo radar, but this is not a permanent vendor-neutral ban or proof all retained copies were deleted.

First budget vote October 6; reported October 8, 2026

Lafayette

City Council voted 5-1 for a 2027 budget that removes the annual Flock appropriation

Status: First budget vote complete; final appropriations vote scheduled October 20 and cameras remain active

The first vote removes the reported $77,500 annual payment for Lafayette's 30 readers. Council still must finalize appropriations and separately decide whether to terminate the contract before the end of 2026; another ALPR vendor remains possible. This is a funding restriction, not final budget adoption, contract termination, shutdown, hardware removal, retained-data deletion or a vendor-neutral ban.

Updated October 9, 2026

Aurora Public Schools

Aurora Police turned off 12 Flock readers at five public high schools after councilmember requests

Status: School-site readers deactivated; removal expected within three weeks unless the school board contracts independently

Police Chief Todd Chamberlain said the shutdown covers the cameras at Aurora Public Schools campuses and that Flock will remove them unless the district board adopts its own agreement. This is not a citywide Flock suspension. Physical removal, contract closeout, retained-data disposition and any district decision remain pending.

Avon

Town Council directed Flock contract termination and camera removal after police disabled local access, alerts and sharing

Status: Operational access shutdown complete; contract closeout and physical removal in progress

The town says its police chief immediately ordered the ALPR coordinator to stop accessing camera data, disable the alert hotlist and cease sharing information after council directed termination of contracts covering twelve readers and removal as soon as practicable. The announcement does not establish completed vendor closeout, hardware removal or deletion of previously retained data.

Thompson School District

District disconnected five Flock cameras at school campuses

Status: Operational discontinuation for cost and service; vendor-owned hardware remains mounted

The district said the five cameras installed in 2024 were disconnected because their cost did not provide the service officials expected. Flock still owns the equipment, which remained physically in place. This is a school-district decision, not a citywide ban, completed removal, or action attributed to the separate student campaign.

City confirms six fixed Flock cameras decommissioned and no longer collecting data

Status: Operational shutdown complete; physical removal and contract closeout under verification

The police chief told City Council that all six city-contracted cameras had been decommissioned as of September 3 and were no longer collecting data. The update confirms the operational result of the August 27 exit announcement, but does not establish physical removal, retained-data disposition or final contract closeout.

Durango

Flock nonrenewal with Axon replacement announced

Status: Vendor transition; ALPR program continues

Police announced that the city will not renew its Flock contract in 2027 and will move the ALPR program to Axon. This is not a surveillance removal or restriction and is tracked to prevent a vendor change from being counted as a cancellation.

Englewood

City Council voted 6-0 to terminate the Flock contract

Status: Contract-ending vote confirmed; no replacement approved; shutdown, removal, data disposition, and final closeout under verification

Englewood's council unanimously ended the Flock agreement and then deadlocked 3-3 on a proposed Axon replacement, leaving no replacement approved for the city's 12 readers. Officials discussed covering or storing the Flock cameras if the vendor does not remove them promptly, but completed shutdown and removal have not been documented.

Boulder

Vendor decision delayed until spring 2027 and interim data retention reduced

Status: Cameras remain active under an interim Flock contract; retention reduced from 28 to 14 days

Boulder delayed selection of an ALPR provider to allow more public and policy discussion. The city is keeping its Flock cameras active, cutting retention to 14 days, and consulting the district attorney about a possible further reduction. No cancellation, provider switch or voter referendum has been approved.

El Paso County

Sheriff's Office discontinued Flock use immediately and announced nonrenewal

Status: Operational shutdown confirmed; nonrenewal and equipment retrieval announced

Connecticut

Flock equipment removed by October 5; policy approved October 14; reported October 16, 2026

Fairfield

Town replaced Flock with Axon ALPR cameras

Status: Completed provider switch; plate-reader collection continues

Town crews removed remaining Flock hardware by October 5 after an overlap with Axon; Chief Michael Paris reported 54 Axon readers. Police published a 21-day ordinary retention rule, documented queries, audits and conditions for out-of-state sharing. These are stated controls rather than independently verified compliance. This is not a surveillance cancellation or a vendor-neutral ban; historical Flock data disposition remains unverified.

Read the dated source · Official record

Audit note. Original October 16 reporting and the police ALPR page support the completed Flock-to-Axon provider switch; the policy approval date is reported by CT Insider, while enforcement of written safeguards and old-data disposition remain unverified.

Council vote October 5; deactivation confirmed October 7, 2026

South Windsor

Town terminated the Flock contract and deactivated stationary readers after the council's 6-3 vote

Status: Contract termination and operational shutdown confirmed; physical removal and data purge pending

Police Chief Kristian Lindstrom said the contract had been terminated and the stationary devices decommissioned after the council vote. The resolution still allows up to 60 days for physical removal, requires a data purge and requires a new public hearing and vote before reinstatement. The follow-up confirms deactivation but not completed hardware removal or deletion.

Milford

Police union files labor complaint challenging camera removal before bargaining

Status: Administrative labor complaint pending; moratorium remains in effect

The union alleges that removing Flock cameras and other license plate readers without bargaining violates its agreement because the equipment affects officer safety. The filing is an unresolved union allegation before the Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations; it is not a ruling and does not itself reverse the city's moratorium or camera limits.

East Hartford

Public approval and surveillance-governance ordinance enacted

Chapter 19 requires public process and Town Council approval before specified police technologies, including ALPRs, are deployed. It also establishes reporting, audit, retention, data-sharing, and vendor-contract controls. East Hartford had no municipal ALPR system when the ordinance was adopted, so this is a preventive governance restriction rather than a cancellation.

Needs follow-up. Do not treat failed retrieval as proof of an error.

August 27 and September 14; Condor moratorium adopted October 5, 2026

Milford

Condor camera use temporarily paused during safety-technology review

After first voting 9-5 against terminating the Condor program, the Board of Aldermen voted 9-5 for a temporary moratorium on Condor use pending a comprehensive review by its technology committee. The new vote supersedes the prior description of active entry-point Condor use. It is not a contract termination, permanent ban, completed review or finding of misuse. The separate traffic-camera pause and pending police-union labor complaint remain distinct.

Read the dated source

Audit note. CT Insider reports that the October 5 board first rejected Condor termination 9-5 and then adopted a temporary Condor-use moratorium 9-5 pending committee review. This is a temporary operational pause, not contract cancellation, permanent prohibition, completed review or misuse finding.

Police-union grievance challenges internal-affairs use; union reports access was restricted

Status: Reported access restriction only; no official misuse finding, camera suspension, contract termination or enacted council rule

The D.C. police union says it filed misconduct complaints and a grievance after learning that internal affairs used Flock to investigate officers. The union alleges the use was improper and says department leadership declined to investigate.

Tallahassee

City Commission unanimously suspended roughly 150 fixed ALPR cameras

Status: Operational suspension approved; physical covering, removal, contract termination and permanent disposition unresolved

The 5-0 vote applies to the city's Flock and Motorola fixed-camera systems. Officials said suspension would occur rapidly, but a separate motion to bag every camera the next day failed 3-2. The tracker therefore records an operational pause rather than completed physical removal or a permanent ban.

The City Council voted 4-1 to remove Flock funding from the fiscal-year 2027 budget and directed the city manager to begin removing camera poles.

The September 1 report describes a pause in routine Flock and Axon use, with police-chief authorization available for immediate threats to life or great bodily harm. It does not establish contract cancellation or complete shutdown. The previously listed seven-reader removal count needs a supporting official record.

Status: Operational restriction and required partial removal; no county moratorium or full shutdown adopted

Sheriff's officials said outside-agency data sharing had ended, retention had been reduced to 30 days, system access had been narrowed and hot-list entries now require supervisory approval. Roughly half of about 182 department cameras must be removed from state rights-of-way under the Florida Department of Transportation directive and will not be relocated to county rights-of-way.

IMPD requires a case or incident number and NIBRS offense code, uses single sign on controls and stronger audits, and limits sharing of its ALPR data to Indiana agencies. Near-daily audits led to additional officer investigations without a public count.

Plymouth

Council voted to discontinue the city's 16-reader Flock program

Status: Final local discontinuation decision; shutdown, removal, contract closeout and data disposition under verification

The council voted to stop using all 16 permanent readers, with the mayor dissenting. Council concerns centered on future outside access rather than a finding of local misuse. The report does not establish when the system went dark, when hardware will be removed or how the contract and retained data will be closed out.

Suspension predates September 28, 2026; mistaken reinstall disclosed September 28

Dayton

City says cameras mistakenly reinstalled during suspension will be removed again

Status: Operational suspension remains in effect; repeat physical removal announced

The city attributed the reinstall to Flock completing a work order that predated the suspension and said the cameras would again be removed. This is not a council decision to resume service, a completed contract cancellation, a permanent ban or proof that searches occurred after reinstall; completed repeat removal remains under verification.

Read the dated source

Audit note. The September 30 statewide report attributes the reinstall to a pre-suspension vendor work order and says the cameras will again be removed. Completed repeat removal, searches after reinstall, contract disposition and a permanent ban remain unverified.

Decision announced October 5; reported October 6, 2026

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

UNC Police disabled automatic sharing of university Flock data with other North Carolina agencies

Status: Interagency self-service access ended; cameras, UNC searches and reviewed information requests remain active

The police chief said outside agencies can no longer search UNC data independently and must ask UNC to review a request. He said the feature had been disabled several weeks earlier and that UNC had not shared with federal agencies. Those statements were made at a Faculty Executive Committee meeting and are not independent audit findings.

Franklin County

Sheriff indefinitely suspends the office’s Flock system after firing a detective

Status: Sheriff’s Office operational suspension and employment action confirmed; broader review and prosecutor referral pending

Sheriff Kevin White said an internal audit found repeated personal tracking without a legitimate law-enforcement purpose. He terminated Detective Janet Leonard, referred the matter to the district attorney and suspended the Sheriff’s Office system and associated equipment while prior use is reviewed. The reviewed sources establish no criminal charge, judicial finding, permanent ban, contract termination or completed hardware removal. The suspension concerns the Sheriff’s Office program, not every agency in the county.

Read the dated source

Audit note. WRAL and ABC11 support the September 25 firing, prosecutor referral and indefinite suspension of the Sheriff’s Office Flock system and associated equipment. The reviewed reporting does not establish charges, a permanent countywide prohibition, contract termination or completed removal.

Asheville

City terminated its fixed Flock contract, disabled every Flock account and covered four city-right-of-way cameras pending vendor pickup

Status: Fixed Flock program ended; physical equipment retrieval scheduled but not complete; Axon mobile ALPR remains active

The city's public-safety page says Flock confirmed Asheville's requested October 12 removal date and expects retrieval within 60 days beginning then because of technician backlogs. The update does not establish that every fixed camera has been removed. Asheville separately continues Axon in-car ALPR, so this is not a complete citywide end to all plate-reader technology.

A later local follow-up sets December 12 as the reported removal deadline, says the two portable readers were already inactive, and describes plans to preserve legally required records and obtain written confirmation of account deactivation and equipment removal. Those steps are not yet complete, and the decision does not affect readers operated by the county, school district, businesses or other private entities.

De Pere

Police immediately ended Flock access and announced cameras would be covered before contract expiration

Status: Operational shutdown complete; covering due by week's end, contract expires November 15 and physical removal remains pending

Chief Jeremy Muraski said officers are no longer allowed to use the system. Cameras are to be bagged by the end of the week but remain mounted until after the November 15 contract expiration. The decision is recorded as an immediate operational shutdown and planned nonrenewal, not completed covering, removal, data deletion or contract closeout.

Milwaukee County Parks

County Board unanimously ordered Flock readers removed from 11 parks by year-end

Status: Parks-system removal adopted; implementation and replacement legislation pending

The vote directs removal from the 11 county parks where the readers are deployed and replacement with conventional security cameras. It is not proof that removal is complete or a countywide prohibition on every ALPR outside the parks.

Milwaukee

Restrictions announced; codification pending

Milwaukee announced supervisor-only access, narrower authorized investigations, no outside-agency access to city camera data, a public dashboard, and twice-yearly independent audits. Police said it was still converting the agreement into standard operating procedures, and council members continued to seek additional safeguards. This is not a cancellation or a completed ordinance.

Green Bay

Draft policy would cut ALPR retention to seven days and tighten search and sharing rules

Proposed Policy 424 is open for a 30-day public-comment period. It would require a specific case number and incident call for searches, retain routine data for seven rather than 30 days, and limit sharing to agencies with comparable protections. The draft has not been adopted, the 42 fixed cameras remain active, and officials said the comment process is not a referendum on retaining the system.
