The Pflugerville Police Department will install a total of 28 Flock Security Cameras throughout Pflugerville's high-traffic areas, with additional cameras in large retails areas like Stone Hill Town Center.
Pflugerville City Council approved the purchase of the cameras at an April 26 meeting. The $83,300 expense was funded using a Department of Justice Project Safe Neighborhood Grant.
Flock Security Cameras contain license plate readers and automatically take photos of passing vehicles. The cameras also automatically check for stolen vehicles and missing persons.
The cameras will only store photos for 30 days after they are taken, except in cases where a photo is deemed relevant to an ongoing investigation, in which case it will remain available after the 30-day period.
