The city signed a 2-year, $550,000 contract in June 2024 for 68 cameras, fully grant funded, and launched the network in October 2024. The city paused the cameras in February 2026 after a county judge ruled the footage a public record, then reactivated them in early April 2026 at Mayor Cassie Franklin’s direction, after a new state law exempted license plate reader footage from the Public Records Act. Most cameras were back online by April 7, 2026.
