Lake City Police Flock Cameras
Lake City Police Department has provided the community a handy webpage that explains exactly what Flock cameras do and don’t do and how the Department uses them.
Lake City PD uses Flock Safety technology to capture objective evidence without compromising on individual privacy.
They utilize retroactive search to solve crimes after they've occurred. Additionally, Lake City utilizes real time alerting of hotlist vehicles to capture wanted criminals.
In an effort to ensure proper usage and guardrails are in place, they have made the policies and usage statistics available to the public.
Mobile automatic license plate readers have been around for over a decade.
There is no difference between those systems and Flock cameras, except that these are stationary.
See the Lake City PD transparency portal on the City’s website, https://www.ci.lake-city.mn.us/police. Look under POST Mandated Policies.
