Lafayette, Colorado council votes unanimously to end Flock and cover its 30 cameras
The Lafayette City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026, to remove the city's Flock cameras, KDVR (FOX31) reported. According to a city spokesperson, Lafayette will immediately end all use of Flock technology, begin a process to end the Flock contract early, cover all cameras under the city's contract until the company removes them, and, barring direction from the council, not contract with any other automated license plate reader system (KDVR). The city said 30 cameras are part of its contract and that not all plate-reader cameras near Lafayette belong to the city; some are run by companies or neighboring governments (KDVR). Flock data use had been suspended since an Oct. 6 meeting at which residents raised privacy concerns (KDVR). On Oct. 6 the council also adopted a 2027 budget with no Flock funding (City of Lafayette). Boulder Reporting Lab reported the contract cost $77,500 a year.
