Enumclaw, WA Flock Contract

Who approved this?

Approved 5-2 by Enumclaw City Council on August 25, 2025.

The Enumclaw City Council voted 5 to 2 on August 25, 2025 to approve a Flock Safety contract for 8 automated license plate readers, the Courier-Herald reported. The first year costs 30,000 dollars including installation and later years cost 24,000 dollars. The department ran a 60 day trial at no charge before the council took the vote. Under the terms described to council, each officer gets a unique user ID, every search must be logged to a case number, access from personal devices is barred, and use for civil infractions or sharing with private third parties is prohibited. Operations Commanders Tony Ryan and Josh Hong audit the system quarterly, and a public transparency portal shows sharing partners, retention and the previous 30 days of usage counts. Photos were set to delete after 30 days unless the police department asked otherwise, a period later cut by Washington Senate Bill 6002, signed March 30, 2026, which caps routine retention at 21 days and requires 2 years of audit trail data. Fox 13 Seattle reported the 8 cameras had been live about 2 months and that Chief Tim Floyd credited them in tracking a suspect wanted for 5 murders in Oregon. No contract end date or term length appears in either report.
