Davidson County, NC Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved 1-0 by Davidson County Board of Commissioners on October 14, 2024.

The Davidson County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the Sheriff's Office request to buy 25 Flock Safety cameras on October 14, 2024. The request document, dated September 16, 2024, describes 23 permanent and 2 portable units and asks to move 90,650 dollars from the federal asset forfeiture account, which it says carries no cost to county taxpayers. It sets the renewal cost at 76,000 dollars per year from the second year forward, excluding installation, and places the agreement on a yearly basis with a renewal option. The document says Flock Safety covers maintenance and repairs at no charge and that Davidson County gains access to data collected by other agencies running Flock cameras across the United States. It also notes the Lexington Police Department was separately acquiring 15 cameras under its own agreement. Commissioners voted on August 24, 2026 to end the county Flock program, and DavidsonLocal reported they discussed how quickly the cameras could come down without setting a removal deadline. DavidsonLocal gives the first year cost as 90,750 dollars while the Sheriff's Office request gives 90,650 dollars, and the figure shown is the one from the county filing.
