At, OCCORD BUILDING COMMUNITY POWER Dear Mayor Amezcua and Members of the Santa Ana City Council, On behalf of Orange County Communities Organized for Responsible Development (OCCORD), we are submitting this public comment to urge the City of Santa Ana to conduct a full public audit of the Flock camera program and terminate the City's contract with Flock. When this contract was approved on May 6, 2025, residents were told there would be accountability. Council Member Thai Phan moved to approve the contract with the expectation that the City would receive a report back within one year with clear information on the installation process, the number of stolen vehicles recovered, the number of missing children or persons located, the number of crimes solved, and whether the technology was effective enough to justify renewal. That report never came. A year later, the public still has no answers. This lack of follow-through is deeply concerning. If the City cannot provide a basic one-year public update on a surveillance program of this magnitude, residents have little reason to trust that future safeguards, audit requirements, or privacy protections will actually be enforced. At minimum, Santa Ana residents deserve clear answers to the following questions: How many stolen vehicles were recovered directly as a result of Flock cameras? How ma missing children or missing persons were located directly as a result of Flock cameras. How many violent crimes were actually solved directly as a result of Flock cameras? How many Flock alerts were generated, and how many were inaccurate? How many residents' license plates and movement patterns were collected? These questions are not minor administrative details. They go to the heart of whether this technology is effective, accountable, and safe for the community. Without this information, the City is asking residents to accept expanded surveillance without evidence, transparency, or meaningful oversight. OCCORD, alongside our partners, is especially concerned about the risks this technology poses to immigrant communities, communities of color, workers, women, queer and trans people, and residents who exercise their right to speak out against government actions. Across the country and here in California, Flock and other automated license plate reader systems have raised serious concerns related to wrongful arrests, inaccurate alerts, unauthorized data sharing, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, law enforcement misuse, and potential access by federal agencies.
