The Stillwater Police Department operates 17 Flock Safety automated license plate reader cameras, along with 20 installed pan tilt zoom cameras and 8 more awaiting installation. The city page states that data is held for 30 days and then deleted automatically, that the department follows Minnesota Statute 13.824, and that a written automated license plate reader policy and audit reports are posted. FOX 9 reported in August 2026 that Stillwater kept its cameras while other Minnesota communities dropped theirs, and quoted a council member crediting the system with solving a fraud case and clearing a person accused of assault. The city page names no council approval date, no contract amount and no term length. No approving vote has been located.
Renewal date pending
The contract end date has not yet been confirmed from records.
