Denver, Colorado

Last updated August 24, 2026

Denver did not renew its Flock contract. Council unanimously rejected an extension on May 5, 2025; Mayor Johnston then signed an extension on July 7, 2025 below the council-approval threshold. The city announced on February 24, 2026 that it would not renew, and all Flock cameras were decommissioned and removed when the contract expired on March 31, 2026. The same day council approved, 7-6, a one-year $150,000 contract with Axon for 50 cameras with 21-day retention; the six no votes said a surveillance ordinance should come first.
