CONTRACT ENDEDBinghamton, NY

Binghamton City Council resolution urges mayor to terminate Flock camera contract ↗

The Binghamton City Council passed a resolution calling on the mayor to end the city's Flock Safety contracts, with council leadership saying the current terms do not serve residents. The measure acknowledges that plate readers can aid investigations while objecting to broad surveillance and data sharing. It sets up a split between the council and the executive that holds the contract.
