Lake Michigan College posts a Security Cameras policy, revised 03-18-25, with Facilities Management as the office of origin. The policy describes Flock cameras as license plate recognition cameras that monitor vehicle access and identify vehicles of interest, and states they will be placed at campus entry and exit points and in designated parking areas. It says the cameras capture plate information and metadata such as date, time and location, that the data is held for a minimum of 90 days, and longer when it is part of an investigation or legal matter, and that access is limited to authorized personnel including the security team and designated IT staff. The college policy index places Lake Michigan College in Benton Harbor, Michigan. The policy gives no camera count, no dollar figure, no contract dates and no board action, and it does not describe sharing with outside law enforcement.
Renewal date pending
The contract end date has not yet been confirmed from records.
Not yet in the sources: the contract amount, the camera count, and the approval date. The city or county clerk holds the approval file, and the records request guide gives the wording to ask for it. If you already hold the document, send it in.
What happens next
Renewals are decided in public. Residents can attend the meeting, speak during public comment, and write to the office above through official channels. The ACLU publishes a model cancellation resolution officials can adapt.
