Lac Courte Oreilles Community Members,

Your safety is our top priority, and we are committed to using the best technology to protect our neighborhoods. As part of this effort, the Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal Police Department has implemented Flock Safety cameras in strategic locations throughout our community.

Flock cameras are designed to enhance public safety by capturing objective evidence, including license plate information, to help law enforcement prevent and solve crimes. These cameras do not use facial recognition and are not intended for traffic enforcement. Instead, they serve as a valuable investigative tool to identify stolen vehicles, locate missing children and adults, and deter criminal activity. 

The use of Flock cameras aligns with our commitment to transparency and responsible policing. Data collected is securely stored and automatically deleted after a certain number of days unless it is actively being used in a criminal investigation. Access to this information is strictly limited to authorized personnel and is never used for surveillance or tracking individuals without cause.

Additionally, many other law enforcement agencies across the country have implemented Flock camera due to their effectiveness in reducing crime and enhancing community safety. This growing network allows agencies to work together more efficiently, sharing critical information when neccessary to solve crimes that cross juridictional boundaries. This cooperative approach strengthen public safety efforts. 

We believe that this technology will contribute to a safer community for all. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Lac Courte Oreilles Police Department. We apreciate your support in keeping Lac Courte Oreilles safe.

Sincerely,

Chief Susie Taylor
Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal Police Department
