Broken Arrow, OK Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved 1-1 by Broken Arrow City Council on September 19, 2023.

Broken Arrow City Council approved a Flock Safety agreement on September 19, 2023 as consent agenda item K, file 23-1170, and the police department operates no Flock cameras today. The city's own recap of that meeting states the agreement runs one year at $18,250, covers 5 cameras installed at several locations, and may be terminated at the end of a 60-day pilot with no penalty or fees. The Broken Arrow Sentinel reported the vote as 4-1 with Ward 3 Councilwoman Christi Gillespie against and quoted Council Member Lisa Ford in favor. The city's Legistar entry records no action or result, and the meeting minutes are a scanned image with no searchable text, so the 4 yes votes appear as an unnamed group. The agenda lists the council that night as Mayor Debra Wimpee, Vice Mayor Christi Gillespie and Council Members Johnnie Parks, Lisa Ford and Justin Green. Legistar's fiscal entries read cost $0 and funding source N/A because of the pilot exit, and no document names the account that funded the $18,250, so the funding source is Unknown. On August 17, 2026 police spokeswoman Hannah Perry told the Sentinel the department does not own or operate any Flock cameras, though privately owned Flock cameras run in the city, and that it keeps a Flock contract giving authorized officers access to the Flock network. The city has bought its own readers instead: $82,576.12 of Hanwha 4K license plate readers from Orion Security Solutions approved on May 5, 2026 for 30 intersections, following a December 2025 authorization from the same vendor, with data on Leonardo ELSAG servers. No document states a termination date or a non-renewal notice for the 2023 lease, so the status here records a lapse the department has confirmed rather than a dated ending.
