Approved by Pontotoc Board of Aldermen on January 17, 2023.

Pontotoc aldermen voted unanimously at their January 17, 2023 meeting to approve a two year subscription contract with Flock for 8 license plate reader cameras. Police Chief Randy Tutor recommended the purchase and said the cameras would go at all major entrances and exits to the city. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported the operating cost at $2,400 per camera per year, with a one time site survey and installation charge of $4,200 covering all 8 cameras. Chief Tutor said the system can search for vehicles matching a description from the previous 30 days and sends real time alerts to officers. The cameras were expected to be installed and running within 3 months of the vote.
