The Yampa Valley Bugle reports that former Sheriff Garrett Wiggins signed the original Flock Safety agreement in July 2022 for 13 cameras, 6 for the Routt County Sheriff's Office and 7 for the Steamboat Springs Police Department, and that the cameras went in during February 2023 after a free trial year. The county paid 18,800 dollars in 2024, 18,050 dollars in 2025 and budgeted 18,050 dollars for 2026. Sheriff Doug Scherar said he would move to cancel after learning the local network was swept into more than 8 million searches by out of state agencies. The report gives no cancellation date and no vote.
