# Reno Seeks Replacement Camera Vendor

The City of Reno plans not to renew its agreements with Flock Safety and BRINC/Motorola Solutions and is considering a different vendor for public-safety camera technology, including automatic license plate readers. City staff are scheduled to ask the City Council to consider a replacement-vendor contract on October 21, 2026; the Flock agreement expires March 17, 2027. The signals do not identify a proposed vendor or formal solicitation, and they provide no value for the replacement contract. Providers may find an opportunity if they can address integration, privacy safeguards, data-sharing controls, transparency, and accountability.

- The October 21 council consideration is a near-term decision point, but the signals do not describe it as a solicitation or proposal deadline.
- Companies serving public-safety agencies should be prepared to demonstrate how their camera and license-plate-reader systems integrate with existing operations and support the stated privacy and accountability priorities.
- The city’s planned non-renewals affect multiple technology agreements, including a drone-dispatch service; procurement details and the scope of any replacement are not specified.
