The Board of Commissioners of Frankfort, Kentucky, voted unanimously on October 12, 2026, not to renew the city's contract with Flock when it expires in January 2027, according to a city press release.
The contract
The city signed a 24-month agreement with Flock on January 17, 2025, to lease, install and run 19 Flock Falcon license plate readers. The city says the contract limits use to crime prevention and prosecution, with footage deleted on a rolling 30-day basis.
How the vote came about
The board heard public comment on Flock at its September meeting but took no action. At the October 12 work session a commissioner moved not to renew and to notify Flock immediately; the motion passed unanimously. The city says the contract can only be renewed by written agreement at least 30 days before it expires, and the city will remove every reader once the contract ends.
What commissioners said
WKYT reported that commissioners want the cameras off until more policy is in place. One commissioner said he expects stricter state and federal rules to be a key issue when the Kentucky legislative session starts in January.
