What happened
Mayor Linda Gorton appointed an independent panel, co-chaired by Timothy Johnson and attorney Allison Connelly, to review the city’s camera program. The panel is tasked with examining best practices and evaluating if improvements are needed or if a new vendor should be considered. The city uses 125 Flock Safety cameras that capture single images, basic vehicle descriptions, and GPS location, but they do not have video or facial recognition capabilities.

Why it matters
The review is intended to guide the city on future actions regarding the automated license plate reader technology. This process could affect the contracts and revenue streams of Flock Safety as the city evaluates its current program.
Mayor Linda Gorton previously announced a panel to review automated license plate technology after the city received reader technology from Flock Safety.
