Miller County uses commissary money for five Flock cameras

Miller County is using commissary proceeds to pay for five Flock cameras, marking a county spending decision involving surveillance equipment.

The cameras are being funded with money from the county commissary operation. The development was reported by the Texarkana Gazette.

The number of cameras is five. The amount of the purchase, the locations where the cameras will be placed, the timing of installation and the public body that approved the spending have not been established.

Flock cameras are used for vehicle-related monitoring, but the purpose, operating rules and data practices for these cameras have not been established for this purchase.

The county’s use of commissary proceeds connects money generated through the commissary operation with a law-enforcement technology purchase. Further public details would clarify how the funds were authorized and how the cameras will be used.
