Breckenridge Switches License Plate Reader Technology from Flock to Axon
What happened
Breckenridge plans to replace its Flock license plate readers with Axon technology as soon as possible. The switch would consolidate the department’s license plate readers under one company and limit access to vehicle-location data to Breckenridge police. The transition followed months of community debate regarding privacy and surveillance access to vehicle-location information.
