No source names who approved this contract yet. Contracts that arrive through procurement or a purchasing threshold often leave no vote to record.
South Kingstown paid $30,300 a year for 7 Flock Safety license plate readers. The town signed the agreement in July 2025, but the first pole mounted unit did not go up until February 2026, so the system ran for roughly 5 months. Police Chief Matthew Moynihan told the Town Council the town guidelines were the strictest he had seen in the state. On July 27, 2026 the Town Council voted unanimously to terminate the contract and asked that the readers come down as soon as possible. No council vote approving the original purchase appears in the available reporting, so no roll call is given. The figure shown is the documented annual amount.
