Pomona, CA Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved on the consent agenda, without discussion, by Pomona City Council and Housing Authority.

Pomona city file 24-1698 asked the City Council to authorize a sole source purchase of Flock cameras from Flock Safety, Inc. in an amount not to exceed 500,000 dollars. The item was introduced August 27, 2024 and placed on the consent calendar for the City Council and Housing Authority meeting of September 16, 2024. The city meeting page still shows the minutes for that meeting as draft and states that actions taken on legislation and their results are not available, so no tally, mover or seconder is documented and no approval date is given. The staff report attachment is posted only in a format this review could not open. The Pomona Police Department policy on automatic license plate readers, dated January 1, 2026, holds ALPR data for a minimum of one year, limits sharing to law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies through written requests approved by the Investigative Services Division Commander, and calls for regular audits with access logged by name, date and time. That policy sets no annual public reporting requirement and does not name Flock Safety.
