The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday that it will discontinue using its nearly two dozen license plate readers effective immediately.
The Sheriff’s Office sent Flock a notice of non-renewal for their contract and requested the company collect the cameras.

Sheriff Joseph “Joe” Roybal made the decision because of “concerns about the future of the Flock Safety program” and anticipated legislation.
“We have the tools, training, and experience to locate and apprehend criminals without relying on Flock cameras,” Roybal stated in a release. “Our commitment to public safety remains stronger than ever.”
The cameras were located across unincorporated El Paso County.
In Colorado Springs, 90 license plate readers developed by Axon were installed on light posts across the city in March to replace 55 Flock cameras. Fountain and other municipalities continue to use Flock.
