Contract decision on record
In Sep 14, 2026, Plano switched off its Flock Safety cameras. Police stopped using the city's Flock cameras after the governor froze the state grant that paid for them, with a year left on the contract; the city said it would wait for further guidance before deciding whether to pay with local funds. Reported by Community Impact.
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.
