The Grand Rapids City Council listed a Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Flock Interconnection Security Agreement as Item 3 on the consent agenda for February 9, 2026. The minutes record that no action was taken and that no resolution was required because of an error in the title request. The agreement filed with the packet is signed by Davis Lukens, Chief Technology Officer of Flock Group Inc, Grand Rapids Police Chief Andy Morgan, Mayor Tasha Connelly, and Kathryn Meiers, Interim Deputy Superintendent of Minnesota Justice Information Systems at the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. It carries SWIFT Contract Number 282452 and connects Flock to the BCA Criminal Justice Data Communications Network for the benefit of the Grand Rapids Police Department. The text states the agreement terminates automatically 5 years from the effective date or when the Flock service agreement ends, and it requires event logs to be kept for at least 1 year. No effective date is printed on the copy filed with the council, so no end date is recorded here. The packet, the minutes and the agreement name no camera count, dollar figure or funding source. Councilors Molly MacGregor, Tom Sutherland, Rick Blake and Dan Mertes were present, but because no vote was taken there is no roll call to record. The state is confirmed as Minnesota by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the SWIFT contract number, both of which are Minnesota systems.

What happens next
