The audit aims to ensure that the city’s use of this technology aligns with established legal frameworks and privacy considerations. The contractor or firm selected to conduct the audit has not been publicly announced.
The council’s decision to proceed with an audit indicates a commitment to understanding the full impact of Flock camera technology on the community. Further information regarding the audit’s commencement date, its detailed objectives, and its projected completion is anticipated to be released by the city administration in the coming weeks.
The specifics of the budget allocated for this audit, or any findings from previous internal reviews of camera usage, were not provided in the information available at the time of reporting.
