The 30-second brief
44 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Norfolk's meetings, most in utilities and public safety. The latest, from Oct 5: At the September 21, 2026 meeting, the council heard a detailed discussion on Flock license plate reader cameras. Police staff said five of the city's six cameras were operational and the program was being used as an investigative tool. Speakers also raised privacy, data retention, and policy concerns, and one council member requested an ordinance on continued use. No procurement was decided here, but the debate is a buying trigger for camera replacement, data policy, and ALPR governance.
