# Indiana Municipalities End Flock Safety Contracts

Several Indiana cities and counties are terminating or choosing not to renew contracts with Flock Safety for license plate reader camera systems as of September 2026. This shift reflects growing public concerns over privacy and constitutional rights, leading to a divided stance among local governments—some discontinuing use while others continue to support the technology for crime-solving purposes. Procurement professionals should note the evolving landscape and potential for future regulatory actions at the state or federal level that could impact contract terms and technology adoption.

- Multiple local government entities including Fort Wayne City Council, Kosciusko County Council, Monroe County, and Bloomington City are ending or reconsidering contracts with Flock Safety.
- The divided municipal approach indicates procurement officers must carefully assess community sentiment and legal considerations when planning or renewing surveillance technology contracts.
- Vendors and contractors should anticipate possible changes in procurement requirements or increased scrutiny related to privacy concerns.
- Organizations involved in public safety technology procurement in Indiana should prepare for potential regulatory developments and adjust contract strategies accordingly.
