Approved by Concord City Council on August 23, 2022.
The Concord City Council in Contra Costa County, California voted unanimously on August 23, 2022 to buy 65 Flock Safety license plate readers for $789,187. The term is 24 months with an option to renew for another 24 months. CBS News Bay Area reported on August 25, 2022 that the system would be ready in 3 to 6 months and that the police department controls the data it collects. The council had ranked getting the system a tier 2 priority in April 2022. KRON4 carried the same $789,187 price, the same 65 camera count and the same 24 month term with a 24 month renewal option. Neither report names the funding source, lists individual council votes, or says whether the renewal option was later exercised.
