Groton Town Council - 11/4/26

The Groton Town Council’s regular meeting on November 4, 2026, included public comments focused largely on privacy, oversight, and the continued use of Flock license-plate reader cameras. Speakers raised concerns about data access, retention, effectiveness, and the roughly $100,000 camera cost cited during comment. The town manager clarified that the council can pause the town-owned cameras; the Public Safety Committee is seeking further information from police chiefs and a Flock representative. No vote was taken on the cameras, and no contract award or procurement decision was made. The council also discussed a proposed climate-related resolution and public access to meetings, but took no related policy vote.
