<\/p>\nEL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) \u2014 El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal announced that the sheriff’s office will discontinue the use of Flock Safety cameras in the county, effective immediately. <\/p>\n
In a news release Wednesday, the sheriff’s office said it will request that Flock Safety retrieve its equipment after sending a non-renewal notice to the company. <\/p>\n
Flock Safety has come under recent scrutiny across the country over concerns of data-sharing practices and what sort of data Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRS) are tracking. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur responsibility is to protect our community, foster public trust, and serve the people,\u201d said El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal. \u201cAfter careful consideration, I believe discontinuing our use of Flock cameras is the right decision for El Paso County and our citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sheriff’s office says this will not affect its commitment to public safety, but it recognizes concerns about the Flock Safety program amid expected legislative changes across the state. <\/p>\n
The Scripps News Group is reaching out to Flock Safety for more information. This is a developing story. <\/p>\n
