FLOCK Camera Contract Coverage Expansion
end
Purpose and Request:
recommended action
The Sheriff's Office requests the Board of County Commissioners to authorize the Sheriff to sign the contract expansion and extension between Arapahoe County and FLOCK for expanded coverage of the license plate reader camera system. This was approved for consent after a drop-in before the BOCC on June 30, 2025.

Background and Discussion: Throughout 2024 trial period and thus far in 2025, the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office has had 25 mounted FLOCK license plate reader cameras and one mobile camera in use. The camera system was permitted through Arapahoe County/City of Centennial and, over the past year and a half, has proven very valuable in locating stolen vehicles, wanted subjects and even endangered persons in our service area. The SO paid the $65,000.00 for camera service in 2025 from forfeiture funds. FLOCK is one of several long-term technical tools at the SO identified for 1A funding in the future. Based on usage and over a year of experience with use, we have identified several gaps in coverage throughout our service area. To close those gaps and enhance service we have asked FLOCK to provide information for installation of 17 additional cameras throughout the service area.
Fiscal Impact: The initial cost is $62,500.00 for cameras and installation, with an ongoing additional annual cost of up to $52,000. For 2025, this cost would be prorated to begin after required permitting and installation. This would then be combined into a single annual invoice for $127,000. Per Board direction, ACSO will request use of forfeiture funds for the expansion costs and return to the Board with a proposal for ongoing funding.
Alternatives: The alternative is for the Sheriff's Office to not expand the FLOCK...
