Lakewood Rejects Extension of Flock Camera Pilot
Trusted by teams at
Description
Lakewood City Council considered but ultimately rejected a motion to extend its pilot project agreement with Flock Safety, Inc. for license plate reader and video camera services, which was proposed at $332,600 for an initial 12‑month term and $289,150 for an additional 12‑month service renewal. The Council vote failed 2–3 after extensive public testimony and discussion of privacy, oversight, and contract terms.

Renewal Info
Proposed structure included an initial 12‑month pilot term with cameras, installation, and 5‑year LPR data retention, followed by a 12‑month renewal term for annual service only at $289,150. Council members indicated opposition to automatic renewal clauses, and Flock agreed in principle to a one‑year term with no automatic renewal, but the extension motion failed so no new term was approved.
