Multiple residents urged the City Council to suspend the city’s Flock Safety license-plate readers and demanded public accounting of searches, retention, and outside access. The mayor said staff and police will provide an update at the council’s Sept. 21 meeting.

APD described body, in‑car, ALPR and traffic camera systems, new audit measures and a seven‑day ALPR retention policy; public commenters urged deletion, independent oversight and transparency while others defended crime‑solving benefits.

At a Berrien County commissioners briefing, the sheriff described a pilot-turned-five-year contract for Flock Safety license‑plate readers, outlined case successes and said the system limits (no facial recognition, not tied to driver databases) and 30‑day retention policy inform his stance on accountability and transparency.

Dozens of residents urged the council to block or oppose renewal of the city's Flock ALPR contract, pressing for data on outcomes, limits on data retention and access, and saying physical security and services should be funded instead.
