Pembroke police operate 6 Flock cameras, paid for through the municipal operating budget according to South Shore News. South Shore Times reported the system was still running as of late July 2026 while several nearby towns dropped theirs, and quoted a department statement that the decision to install Flock gave officers a tool to protect businesses and residents while keeping their privacy. South Shore News reported that unflagged plate data purges automatically after 30 days across the South Shore systems it reviewed. Neither source names a contract amount, a term length, a start date or an expiration date. Neither source identifies a Select Board vote, a town meeting article or any other approving action for the purchase. No roll call exists to record.
