Canceled
Who approved this?
No source names who approved this contract yet. Contracts that arrive through procurement or a purchasing threshold often leave no vote to record.
The Arkansas Advocate reported on August 19, 2026 that Farmington was among at least six Arkansas cities that let Flock Safety contracts expire or ended them early since the end of July 2026. KATV listed Farmington among Arkansas cities that suspended Flock use rather than terminating outright, so the two accounts differ on whether the arrangement has ended or is on hold. The status shown follows the Advocate because it makes the more specific claim about contract status, and the disagreement is named here. No city council vote, vote tally, camera count, contract amount, term length or effective end date is documented in either source. Both outlets are Arkansas newsrooms writing about Arkansas municipalities, which separates this Farmington from towns of the same name in New Mexico, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, Connecticut and Utah. Farmington city council minutes or a termination notice covering the decision were not located.
Farmington ended its Flock contract
Contract ended a date pending 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
This decision already happened in public; the record and its sources are above. If the community revisits the question, that decision would follow the same public process: a noticed meeting, public comment, and a recorded outcome, all through official channels.
