Contract decision on record

In Sep 25, 2026, Manitowoc declined to renew its Flock Safety contract. The mayor said the city will not renew the agreement when it expires in early 2027 and asked Flock to remove its cameras, already deactivated, as soon as possible; his 2027 budget funds no citywide camera system. Reported by FOX 11 News.

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.
