Contract decision on record

In Sep 2, 2026, Elgin paused its Flock Safety program. The police chief paused use of the city's 25 Flock cameras and mobile trailer until elected officials decide whether to resume or cancel, following the governor's lead after state funding for 12 of the cameras was halted. Reported by City of Elgin.

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 →

These locations were documented in the field by OpenStreetMap volunteers and refresh automatically every six hours. 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.
