Roseburg City Council renews contract with Flock Safety for surveillance cameras
What happened
The Roseburg City Council voted 6-2 on November 11, 2026, to continue a contract with Flock Safety. The contract covers the operation of 15 automated license plate readers in Roseburg, which have been in place since 2023. The cameras capture images of a vehicle's rear license plate, including make, model, and color, and transfer alerts to the police department. The two-year agreement costs $75,000 and expires in February 2028.

The renewal provides Flock Safety with a guaranteed revenue stream for two years. The cameras are used by the police department in Roseburg to gather vehicle information, though the technology does not capture video or facial recognition data.
