The Dunwoody City Council meeting on March 23, 2026, focused heavily on the ongoing contract and security concerns related to Flock Safety's surveillance technology, including license plate readers and gunshot detection systems. Public comments featured extensive criticism of Flock Safety regarding privacy, data security vulnerabilities, and misuse of surveillance data, with calls from residents and advocacy groups to cancel or renegotiate the contract. The city attorney reported that a new master services agreement (MSA) was being negotiated to consolidate and strengthen contract terms, including enhanced breach notification protocols and data ownership clarifications. Council members discussed the need for real-time alerts on data access and audit improvements. The council deferred a contract decision to a future meeting pending the final MSA draft. Additionally, the council approved a contract renewal with Sunbelt Traffic LLC for signal, sign, and street light maintenance and approved a $108,000 GIS services contract with Geographic Technologies Group. A $245,986 request for ballistic windshields for police vehicles was also approved to enhance officer safety. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn to executive session for legal and real estate matters.
