Flock Safety Cameras - February 2026
In this episode of Vue From The Top, City of Bellevue Director of Marketing and Communications Melissa Morandi is joined by Bellevue Police Chief Jon McClain, Elizabethtown Police Chief Jeremy Thompson, and Mayor Charlie Cleves for an in-depth discussion on Flock Safety cameras and how they are used to enhance public safety.
The conversation breaks down what Flock cameras are, how license plate reader technology works, and why Bellevue is considering their implementation. Chiefs McClain and Thompson explain how the cameras are strategically placed at city entry and exit points to help solve crimes such as hit-and-runs, vehicle thefts, burglaries, and robberies—while also serving as a powerful deterrent to criminal activity.
Chief Thompson shares real-world examples from Elizabethtown, where Flock cameras have been in use for three years, including their role in Amber Alerts, multi-agency crime investigations, and the rapid recovery of a stolen vehicle with a child inside. The episode also addresses common community concerns, including privacy, data retention, and who has access to the information, emphasizing strict controls, a 30-day automatic data deletion policy, and limited, law-enforcement-only use.
This informative episode offers transparency into modern policing technology, highlights regional cooperation between law enforcement agencies, and explains how Flock Safety cameras are designed to protect communities—without tracking law-abiding residents.
