Who approved this?
Approved 1-0 by Guthrie City Council.
The Guthrie City Council approved a two year Flock Safety contract in 2023 worth 61,722 dollars, paid with a National White Collar Crime Center grant funded through the U.S. Department of Justice. Police Chief Don Sweger secured that grant in 2022. Guthrie News Page reported on April 28, 2025 that the city would end the contract in 2025 because the grant money had run out and Guthrie would be responsible for future costs. KFOR put the continuation price at about 35,000 dollars a year and reported the council declined to renew because of limited local funding and competing project priorities. Sgt. Anthony Gibbs said the cameras had helped with vehicle theft arrests and a pursuit in 2023 and called losing them a setback. The sources describe the original council approval as unanimous but give no meeting date, no individual votes, and no camera count. Neither source states a retention period, an audit requirement, a public portal or any reporting condition.
