Lakewood's 16-camera Flock contract ($58,000 a year, in effect through January 30, 2027) was signed without a council vote because it falls under the $75,000 threshold for staff contracts. On August 10, 2026 council voted 11-0 to schedule a study session on Flock before renewal decisions; 125 public comments, none in favor, were filed on the item. Lakewood PD's written policy allows plate data to be kept up to one year, while the contract describes rolling 30-day deletion.
