The UAB Reporter, published by the university, describes the Flock Safety system of license plate recognition cameras set up around the perimeter of UAB in fall 2023. The article says the cameras alert officers in real time when a vehicle tied to criminal activity or a stolen vehicle enters or leaves campus, and that the Birmingham Police Department also uses Flock Safety, which lets the two agencies work the same alerts. UAB Police Chief Green is the official quoted. The article gives no camera count, no dollar figure, no contract term and no retention period.
Renewal date pending
The contract end date has not yet been confirmed from records.
Not yet in the sources: the contract amount, the camera count, and the approval date. The city or county clerk holds the approval file, and the records request guide gives the wording to ask for it. If you already hold the document, send it in.
What happens next
