Cities Struggle to Cancel Flock Safety Contracts

Source: The Verge - Published: 01 Nov 2026 22:58

Several cities are facing challenges in terminating contracts with Flock Safety, despite a growing trend of cancellations. In Plymouth, Minnesota, the city council's decision to end its contract went unacknowledged by Flock, leading the police chief to disconnect the cameras himself after weeks of inaction. Meanwhile, Dayton, Minnesota, experienced unauthorized reconnections of cameras despite a request to halt work orders.

Cities should monitor Flock's compliance with contract terminations closely, as unauthorized reconnections may lead to legal challenges. Watch for potential policy changes or legislative actions aimed at regulating surveillance technology in response to these incidents.
