Flock Camera Community Awareness Kit

Photograph the installation from a safe, lawful location and note the street, direction of travel, nearby landmark, and date. Look for a camera, a slim pole, and often a separate solar panel. Do not touch, obstruct, or damage equipment.

Before making a public claim, confirm the owner or operator through local records, an agency website, meeting materials, or a contract.

Ask for the current ALPR policy, vendor contract and amendments, data-retention schedule, sharing settings, audit rules, access list, and any impact assessment or approval record. Public-records procedures vary, so use your jurisdiction's official instructions.

Compare local documents with Flock's description of collected data and its evidence policy.

• What problem is the system intended to solve, and how will success be measured?
• Who can search the data, for which purposes, and with what approval?
• What is the actual retention period, and what can extend it?
• Which outside agencies or private parties can receive access?
• How are misuse, audit findings, and policy changes reported to the public?
• When will the contract return for public review?

Separate verified facts from vendor claims, news reporting, and your own opinion. Link to source documents, include the date reviewed, and correct errors promptly. Avoid publishing plate numbers, faces, home addresses, or other personal information.

Bring the questions to a public meeting, share this kit with neighbors, and use an awareness sign where lawful and permitted.
