Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 6 Oct, 19:24 · Archive

Clark County school district police will not pursue access to the Flock license plate reader camera network.

Clark County school district police have announced they will not pursue a contract with Flock, the company that operates a network of license plate reader cameras. The decision comes after the school police paused their use of Flock's Southern Nevada network for investigations more than a month ago, following complaints from community members about the surveillance technology.

Community opposition to the use of the camera network drove the change in policy. The school police chief confirmed the district will not seek continued access to Flock's system going forward.
