Hundreds of Flock cameras were set to be canceled but will remain online for now. These cameras are used by police and also serve as license plate readers. They give officers the ability to track plates and find out if they were captured by one of the cameras.
The cameras were at risk of being shut down due to an order from Gov. Greg Abbott blocking state agencies from spending money on them. Nearly half of the 684 citywide Flock cams are paid for by the state and were in danger of being shut down.
Police say the cameras have helped solve cases, but further details on their effectiveness and future are available from the police department.
