Easton police are shutting down their Flock Safety license plate reader program, with the department's contract set to lapse at the end of its contract year in October 2026. Chief Keith Boone made the call to terminate the agreement after weighing the technology's investigative value against mounting public unease over surveillance and privacy. The two Flock cameras, installed on a trial basis in 2024 at Depot Street and Foundry Street, had become a fixture of Easton's policing toolkit.
