Appleton plans to end using Flock Safety cameras

The City of Appleton has announced plans to end its use of Flock Safety cameras. Mayor Jake Woodford stated that the decision was made after careful consideration of feedback and internal concerns. The cameras have been instrumental in solving cases and recovering stolen property. However, the city has lost trust in the company due to concerns over the system's integrity and potential misuse by personnel in other departments. The city is currently evaluating the terms of use and will bring a termination recommendation to the Common Council if necessary. The decision was made citing accountability concerns that are not under the City of Appleton's control as a customer.
