Supervisors endorse Flock camera use, note federal access rules and local benefits

Jenkins Township supervisors affirmed the utility of Flock automated license-plate cameras while reviewing access rules and privacy safeguards. The meeting record notes that federal restrictions govern use and that township police cannot access Flock information for personal use.

Bob said the cameras “helped solve 2 crimes locally,” and Angel B. of the police department explained how access to the camera data is controlled for law enforcement purposes. The minutes indicate supervisors view the cameras as beneficial but also reiterated that federal rules must be followed.

The segment records that Millcreek Township maintains a public web page titled myths and facts about Flock cameras as an example, and supervisors noted that the township will adhere to applicable federal restrictions. No policy vote or ordinance text appears in this segment.
