Temple University reported on August 21, 2024 that its Department of Public Safety installed Flock Safety license plate reading cameras in July 2024. Police Chief Jennifer Griffin said officers were solving crime one license plate at a time. The university said the readers flagged a stolen vehicle on the 1700 block of Fontain Street within two weeks of installation, and that the campus network holds close to 1,500 security cameras in total. The release gives no plate reader count, no dollar figure, no contract term and no retention period.
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.
