# Tucker Seeks County to Assume Camera Contract

Tucker, Georgia, is considering asking DeKalb County to assume the City’s Flock Safety contract for 15 automated license plate reader cameras used by DeKalb County Police. The contract costs $37,500 annually, plus contingency. Tucker’s City Council is scheduled to consider the request; if approved, it would be submitted to county officials, who had not received a formal request at the time of reporting. The county’s decision is unknown, and Tucker policy restricts city employees’ access to the camera system.

- If DeKalb County assumes the contract, responsibility for its cost and potentially its administration would shift from Tucker to the county; the signals do not report an approved transfer or a procurement timeline.
- Procurement teams assessing the proposal should distinguish the annual contract cost from the additional contingency and clarify which entity would administer the agreement if the county takes it over.
- The city’s access restriction is relevant to defining system access and administrative responsibilities alongside any change in contract ownership. Flock Safety is the incumbent contractor.

### Key Quotes
> We don't use them. We put them in place for our police department, and DeKalb County is our police department, we have a contract with them to be our policing services. So we supplied those for them because they didn't have that tool and people were asking for it at the time.
> — Anne Lerner, Mayor of Tucker
