St. Johns County BCC Meeting Livestream

St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners meeting, October 21, 2026: The board discussed automated license plate readers (ALPRs), primarily the Flock system, installed in county rights-of-way. The Sheriff’s Office described safeguards it had adopted in response to public concerns: reducing data retention from one year to 30 days, restricting historical searches to designated analysts and communications operators with supervisor approval, ending automatic data sharing with other agencies, and conducting quarterly audits. Officials acknowledged one instance of personal misuse, for which an employee was disciplined. The discussion also covered camera locations and counts, security and privacy concerns, contract terms raised by a speaker, and a request for a clearer public-facing location map. No contract award or spending allocation was presented.
