As some cities across the country are terminating their contracts with Flock Safety, an automated license plate reader vendor, the Sioux City Police Department is seeking a state grant that could nearly triple its number of AI-powered cameras.Â
Sioux City Police Department Capt. Ryan Bertrand gestures toward a screen showing search results on a police department vehicle as he talks about the department's use of its Flock license plate reader cameras. The city currently has 12 cameras in service and is seeking a grant to deploy more.
