Isle of Palms, SC Flock Contract

Who approved this?

No source names who approved this contract. That gap is common where a purchase cleared without a council vote.

Isle of Palms police installed Flock automated license plate readers in 2024 and had spent about 13,500 dollars on them by the summer of 2026, according to ABC News 4 on August 18, 2026. That figure is spending to date, so no contract amount is given. The same station counted 2 Flock cameras on August 18, 2026 but described a single camera in a September 1, 2026 report on the department. The count of 2 is used because it comes from the station's itemized spending review, and the conflict between the 2 reports is left unresolved. The city's Public Safety Committee listed an update on Flock cameras as new business in its September 1, 2026 agenda packet, published by the city. Police told the committee that the deputy chief runs quarterly internal affairs audits, that retention was cut by seven days, and that a public transparency portal is online, and Sergeant Matt Storen said the cameras had helped in 20 cases. No purchase order, council vote, contract term, end date or funding source has been found.
