Surveillance Cameras

An audit led by Troy police was supposed to help settle a disagreement on how to regulate Flock cameras. Instead, Troy officials can’t seem to agree on whether the audit is sufficient.

Troy city officials said the Flock cameras were "deliberately damaged" and called the alleged vandalism "unacceptable."

The all-Democrat council announced Thursday it still intends to pass a law “that will restrict data sharing while maintaining access to crime-solving tools.”

The saga has included debate over the renewal of the city's contract with Flock, resident concerns over how data is collected and used, and the city's public safety needs.

The proposal is the latest chapter in a contentious discourse over the license-plate-reading cameras between the all-Democratic council and Republican Mayor Carmella Mantello.
