Flock cameras help investigators identify suspect vehicles and generate leads in cases involving:

• Hit-and-run collisions 

At the meeting, SRPD personnel will explain:

• Audit and oversight requirements 
• Data-sharing restrictions 
• How the technology supports criminal investigations while protecting individual privacy rights 

Chief John Cregan wants to hear directly from community members and welcomes questions, concerns, and feedback regarding the program.  

Your voice is an important part of this discussion, and we hope you'll join us.
