Dayton's city council voted to pause its Flock Safety automated license plate reader camera program on August 26, 2026. The pause represents a temporary halt to the program's operation, though the council did not terminate the contract entirely. The decision came after community engagement and council deliberation regarding the cameras, which capture and store vehicle registration data. The specific reasons for the pause and its duration were not detailed in available reporting. Readers interested in the program's status can monitor Dayton city council meeting minutes and agendas, as well as any future votes on whether to resume, modify, or end the contract. Similar programs in other Ohio municipalities have faced varying levels of public scrutiny, making Dayton's action part of a broader conversation about automated surveillance technology in local government.
