Flock Safety

In his latest regular interview with WCBU, Peoria City Manager Patrick Urich said the city hasn’t given any thought to changing its policy regarding the police department's use of Flock Safety cameras.

East Peoria city leaders support a proposal to add 10 more Flock Safety automated license plate reader cameras to the police department’s existing system that’s been in place four years.

Former chief of police Dale King agreed to return to the department following departures of its two top officers. The Illinois State Police is investigating former chief Justin Egan, who resigned last month.

The 54 Flock license plate reading cameras in Pekin will remain there for another year. The Pekin City Council voted 6-1 on Monday to renew its annual contract with Flock.

The Pekin City Council on Monday delayed a decision on whether the city should renew its annual contract with Flock Safety for 54 license plate reading cameras. The issue was tabled until Aug. 24.

The Pekin City Council on Monday unanimously approved renewing the city's annual contract with Flock Safety for the 54 license plate reading cameras installed throughout the community.

A joint initiative between the Illinois House and Illinois State Police is bringing cameras to highways across the state.

The city of East Peoria is the latest Central Illinois municipality to purchase automatic license plate readers from Flock Safety.

The city signed a 2-year contract with Flock Safety.
