Who approved this?
Approved by Frisco City Council on October 15, 2024.
Council approved a Flock Safety license plate camera program on October 15, 2024 at 434,150 dollars for 81 cameras, on a 1 year term with an option to renew and change the camera count, according to Community Impact. The money comes from a Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority grant issued through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. Police announced the citywide rollout on January 15, 2025, and both the Dallas Morning News and Government Technology put the grant at 437,000 dollars, which does not match the 434,150 dollars in the council item. The council figure is shown because it comes from the action itself. Deputy Chief of Police Jason Jenkins told Community Impact the system lets officers work more efficiently because the force cannot grow to the size the city growth would require. Frisco police say plate data is held 30 days and that every search requires a stated reason. No roll call is given because Frisco's agendas and minutes sit behind a document viewer that could not be read.
