Fairfax County, VA Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved on the consent agenda, without discussion, by Fairfax County Board of Supervisors on November 21, 2023.

The Fairfax County Police Department transparency page lists 84 Flock license plate cameras installed across the county. Data is held 21 days under Code of Virginia 2.2-5517 and department policy, and searchable offense types are limited to Title 18.2 of the Code of Virginia. The page describes two audit tracks: a human team that reviews 100 percent of searches for anomalies and a separate AI tool that surfaces suspicious patterns, with monthly reports to a police commander. The page names more than 111 Virginia law enforcement agencies that can search Fairfax data, including county sheriff offices, city police departments and university police. FFXnow reported that the Board of Supervisors approved a US Department of Justice grant of 136,270 dollars on November 21, 2023, after the department installed another 25 readers in spring 2023 following an 8 week trial at 2 locations. Annandale Today reported in 2026 that more than 100 Flock readers now operate countywide, roughly 30 of them in the Mason District, so the county page and that report disagree on the count; the 84 figure is used because it comes from the county's own transparency page. No contract value, term length or end date appears in any source reviewed. The department also operates 712 Axon Fleet 3 in-car readers from a different vendor.
