Contract decision on record
In Aug 31, 2026, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office canceled its Flock Safety contract. The sheriff ended the office's use of plate readers across Duval County the day the state ordered them off state roads, and the office later said its Flock contract had been terminated, cutting off the 150 readers it had used. Reported by News4JAX.
Cameras can still appear in the record above after a decision like this one. These locations change only when a volunteer edits OpenStreetMap, and a decision date is not a removal date. See this decision in the cancellation tracker →

They are evidence of where cameras have been seen — not a complete or official inventory, and cameras may have been added or removed since documentation.
