Contract decision on record
In Sep 17, 2026, Hutto canceled its Flock Safety contract. Council voted to remove the city's 10 Flock plate readers, deactivated since August, and to bar other companies' plate-reader technology; the city keeps separate Flock contracts for closed-loop cameras. Reported by Taylor Press.
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.
