While Denver removed its Flock cameras, Aurora expanded: roughly 114 Flock cameras, drones, facial recognition, and a Real Time Information Center. No council roll call has named the plate readers; the one surveillance vote on record is facial recognition (October 2025). Aurora's plate reader directive was last revised in 2017 and, unlike its drone and facial recognition rules, has no immigration limit.
