THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Review and potential termination or modification of the contract with Flock Safety for AI-powered surveillance cameras (ALPR and Condor cameras). The public is requesting pausing nationwide data sharing, releasing unredacted audit logs, holding a public hearing, and ultimately removing the cameras due to privacy concerns, potential for abuse, and lack of proven effectiveness in crime reduction.
Public concerns include: 3 million searches in 16 months with redacted agency names; potential for stalking and misuse by officers; lack of transparency and public oversight; errors leading to false arrests; violation of Fourth Amendment rights; comparison to dystopian surveillance states; and the cameras' ability to track movements and create profiles of citizens. Speakers suggested reallocating funds to schools, parks, or community programs, or for more law enforcement training and support.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
