Police Surveillance Contract Termination

Impact analysis
Ending the deal may save North Liberty the Flock contract fees, but termination costs or a replacement system could eat into those savings.
People worried about being tracked—and privacy advocates—get a win because fewer cameras will be logging their plates.
Police lose a data tool they may use in investigations, and residents who view the cameras as a crime-fighting safety net may feel less protected.
