Approved 7-0 by Hampton City Council on January 11, 2023.
The Hampton City Council voted 7 to 0 on January 11, 2023 to accept a donation of equipment valued at roughly $90,000 a year from the Coliseum Business Improvement District for use by the Hampton Police Division. The motion text never says what the equipment is, but the city gave the file the internal name Flock ALPR Donation, which fixes the vendor as Flock Safety and the technology as automated license plate readers. Steven L. Brown made the motion and Billy Hobbs seconded it. File 22-0365 was introduced on December 29, 2022 and passed at the January 11, 2023 legislative session with all 7 members voting yes. The city posted no attachments to the file, so the camera count, the placement list and any end date are absent from the public record.
