League City Voters Mandate Removal of Flock Safety Cameras
What happened
League City voters approved Proposition A on November 1, 2026, which requires the police department to stop using Flock Safety's license plate reading cameras. The city plans to begin removing the cameras the day after the election. The city manager must review its agreements with Flock Safety, and the city council must approve the final termination agreement.
