The Chatham County Sheriff's Office held a Flock Safety contract that ran from June 1, 2025 to June 1, 2027 and totaled 66,700 dollars. Chatham County commissioners voted on April 20, 2026 to cancel that agreement. ABC11 reported the cancellation vote and the Chatham Journal later printed the contract dates and the total. Neither outlet published a tally or named how each commissioner voted. The amount shown is the whole term total because the reporting names 66,700 dollars as the contract amount. Flock applies a default 30 day retention period, and the reporting says local agencies own their data and control sharing on an opt-in basis. The number of cameras the county itself ran is absent from both reports. The Town of Pittsboro's agreement for 9 cameras is a separate contract, not counted here.
