Edison officials approved the purchase of 90 license plate readers from Flock Safety, an AI-powered surveillance platform.

The goal of the deployment is to reduce home invasions, burglaries, and auto thefts in the area. The resolution received support from six of the seven council members, though Councilperson Richard Bresher voted against the measure due to privacy concerns.
