Who approved this?
No source names who approved this contract. That gap is common where a purchase cleared without a council vote.
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles lists the Pasadena Police Department Auto Theft Division among the 24 standing Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority grantees, and the fiscal year 2026 award table gives Pasadena 141,733 dollars for the Pasadena Auto Crimes Prevention Program. KBTX reported on August 29, 2026 that Pasadena Police Sgt. Douglas Buckert credited the Flock cameras with changing how his agency investigates catalytic converter theft. The same report placed Pasadena inside the statewide count of at least 3,200 Flock cameras bought with Senate Bill 224 insurance fee money. The city website returned only a calendar view and no police or council navigation, so no camera count, contract amount, term or council action was confirmed. Neither record gives a Flock contract start or end date for Pasadena.
Renewal date pending
The contract end date has not yet been confirmed from records.
The money
- Funding source: Other grant
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.
