Who approved this?
No source names who approved this contract. That gap is common where a purchase cleared without a council vote.
A WECT investigation published on June 1, 2026 reports that the Pender County Sheriff's Office holds a Flock Safety contract, that some cameras sit on private property, and that the office says the system is used only for investigations. The report gives no camera count, no dollar figure, no term length and no approval vote.
Renewal date pending
The contract end date has not yet been confirmed from records.
Not yet in the sources: the contract amount, the camera count, and the approval date. The city or county clerk holds the approval file, and the records request guide gives the wording to ask for it. If you already hold the document, send it in.
What happens next
Renewals are decided in public. Residents can attend the meeting, speak during public comment, and write to the office above through official channels. The ACLU publishes a model cancellation resolution officials can adapt.
