Who approved this?
Approved by Pontiac City Council on June 16, 2026.
The Pontiac City Council took up Resolution 18 on Raven Gunshot Detection Technology, a Flock Safety product, at its June 16, 2026 regular meeting after postponing the item from May 19, 2026. The city agenda packet posted for June 16, 2026 lists the postponement and the resolution. Government Technology reported the council renewed the agreement on a 5 to 2 vote at a price of 72,000 dollars over two years, and named the Oakland County Sheriff's Office as the funding source. No contract amount is given because the figure covers gunshot detection equipment, and no document separates a license plate reader cost. The same report cited 269 gunshot alerts and 212 fireworks alerts, with the data used in 2 homicide cases, 4 attempted murder cases and 3 felon in possession of a firearm cases. The approved June 16, 2026 minutes are posted only as scanned images with no machine readable text, so no roll call by name could be read and only the 5 to 2 tally is given. The documents reviewed do not name the operating law enforcement agency, a sensor count, a retention period or any audit or reporting condition.

The contract end date has not yet been confirmed from records.
Not yet in the sources: the contract amount and the camera count. Pontiac City Council 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.
