Contract decision on record
In May 26, 2026, Redmond canceled its Flock Safety contract. Council voted unanimously to cancel and remove all 24 readers, citing community concerns about data security; the city had deactivated them months after installation, amid national scrutiny of Flock data reaching ICE. Reported by Redmond Moments.
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 →
