Chief Bryan Chapman restricted all personnel from the system. An internal investigation is underway into potential misuse by a department employee.

In a statement, Flock said it was disappointed by Chandler’s decision but emphasized the case demonstrated why the company built its auditing tools, including the Audit Assistance feature that automatically flags patterns indicating possible misuse.

“It’s why the public is becoming more aware of the rare cases of misuse; not because it never happened previously, but because we have now provided the tools that bring it to light,” the company said.

Chandler joins a growing list of Arizona jurisdictions that have dropped Flock contracts in recent months, including Pinal County, Flagstaff, Sedona and South Tucson.

    The 40 cameras and poles are Flock’s property, and the vendor will handle removal on its own timeline, Chapman said.

    So Flock can leave them up permanently and still access the data. Sort of like in Littleton where the town deactivated the cameras and Flock turned them back on.
