Indiana Town Cancels Flock Safety Contract

The decision

An Indiana town canceled its contract with Flock Safety after a resident said police tracked his vehicle through the company’s system.

The action ended the town’s agreement with Flock Safety. The resident’s complaint focused on police use of vehicle-tracking information.

The concern raised

Flock Safety provides technology used to identify and locate vehicles. In this case, a resident said police tracked his vehicle, prompting concern about the town’s use of the system.

The cancellation is the central government action in the matter. The resident’s statement describes the concern that preceded it.

What happens next

The town’s cancellation raises questions about how police will handle vehicle information after the contract ends. Officials may also need to explain when the contract ended and whether any related records or policies will change.

The decision does not by itself establish the full circumstances of the vehicle tracking described by the resident. Further records from the town or police department could clarify the system’s use and the terms of the cancellation.
