Who approved this?
No source names who approved this contract. That gap is common where a purchase cleared without a council vote.
The Messenger-Inquirer reported that Owensboro has 15 license plate reader cameras across the city and that the Owensboro Police Department and the Daviess County Sheriff's Office both use the Flock Safety system. Sheriff Brad Youngman said Flock data showed the route of 2 defendants charged in a March shooting in Knottsville back to La Grange. The article says OPD has a written policy that records who accesses the system and why, and that Flock activity is audited several times each year. The page shows no publication date, and the article does not give a cost, a contract date or a vote.
