Approved 13-0 by Waukesha Common Council on December 5, 2023.
The Waukesha Common Council approved a 5 year agreement with Flock Group, Inc. for the Flock Safety platform on December 5, 2023. Alderman Pieper moved and Alderman McElderry seconded. The recorded vote was 13 aye, with Cory C. Payne and Mike Anderson marked absent. The city legislative file for the item carries no dollar figure, and the attached law enforcement agreement and cover sheet sit on a document host that refuses automated retrieval, so the price and camera count stay undocumented here. Waukesha had taken up a Flock pilot on June 7, 2022. On September 9, 2025 the Finance Committee voted 5 to 0 to approve 3 more Flock cameras and the full council took the item up on September 16, 2025. The Waukesha Freeman reported on September 6, 2025 that Woodman's offered a 20,000 dollar donation to cover those 3 cameras for 2 years. No record reviewed shows the council canceling or ending the agreement.
