Civilian Review Board Meeting | June 9, 2026

The City of Eugene Civilian Review Board held a meeting on June 9, 2026, focusing primarily on oversight of police practices and community concerns. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a detailed presentation and discussion regarding the Flock Safety ALPR (Automatic License Plate Reader) program. The board reviewed complaints related to the program, including issues of public notification, data sharing, privacy, and the scope of searches conducted by various law enforcement agencies, including federal entities. The report highlighted that while the police department followed existing policies, the technology's national integration raised community trust concerns. The board recommended future consultation and oversight integration before implementing similar technologies. Additionally, the meeting included commendations for police operations, updates on auditor staffing, and public comments addressing police conduct and community surveillance. No contract awards or procurement decisions were discussed, but policy considerations around emerging technologies and civilian oversight were emphasized.
