Two Milwaukee aldermen are proposing a change that would give the Common Council’s Finance and Personnel Committee a role in approving the city’s contracts for Flock automated license plate reader cameras and related software. Ald. Alex Brower and Ald. Marina Dimitrijevic are introducing a charter ordinance amendment that would require committee approval for new contracts and contract amendments involving the technology. Brower said the proposal would put decisions about the system to a vote rather than leave them solely to the Milwaukee Police Department. The proposal comes as police have defended the system as a tool that helps investigators make arrests more quickly. The department has also recently tightened access, barring outside agencies from using the system and limiting access within the department to supervisors. Brower said the aldermen are working to build community support for the measure. The available details do not specify when the proposal will be considered or what changes, if any, would be made to the existing contract. Milwaukee police did not respond to a request for comment on Oct. 6 and did not confirm when the city’s current Flock contract expires.
