Brind.
From Parkville Voters to Decide on Nearly 47% Property Tax Increase

How could the proposed tax increases affect Flock Safety?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Increased public safety funding may boost surveillance technology procurement for Flock Safety If the proposed tax propositions are approved by voters, the increased funding for public safety services in Parkville could lead to greater procurement of surveillance technology. Proposition P, which is intended to fund police salaries, equipment, and training, would provide the necessary budget increase for these operations. Since Parkville already utilizes Flock Safety surveillance cameras, a larger public safety budget would likely enable the city to expand or upgrade its existing surveillance infrastructure, potentially increasing Flock Safety's contracts and revenue.
