Canceled
Who approved this?
No source names who approved this contract. That gap is common where a purchase cleared without a council vote.
Boston.com reported on September 1, 2026 that Easton will end its Flock Safety contract by the end of the year and that the department operates 2 cameras. Hoodline reported on August 31, 2026 that the 2 cameras went in during 2024 on a trial basis, that the contract year runs out in October 2026, and that Keith Boone is the police chief. This is the Easton Police Department of Easton in Bristol County, Massachusetts, based at 46 Lothrop Street in North Easton, and not Easton, Pennsylvania, which has its own page. The two reports differ on the end date, one giving the end of 2026 and the other October 2026, so no single contract end date is recorded here. Neither report states the contract amount, the funding source, the data retention period or any audit term, and neither records a Select Board vote on the termination.
