Summit County Will Keep Flock Cameras

Summit County will keep its Flock cameras, while changes to the handling and use of information collected by the system are coming.

Cameras will remain

The decision means the county’s Flock camera network will stay in place. The cameras collect information connected to vehicles and their movement, but the material available here does not identify the number of cameras, their locations or the length of time information is kept.

Use of information will change

The coming change concerns how information from the cameras is used. The available announcement does not specify the new rules, who approved them or when they will take effect.

That leaves the practical details to watch as the county puts the change into effect. Those details include what uses will be allowed, who may access the information and whether the county will publish a policy or other governing document.

What happens next

Denver7 reported the decision. The county’s cameras will remain, while the county moves toward a different approach to using the information they collect.
