Flock & ALPR Cameras in Farmington, Arkansas
Volunteers have reported 11 automated license plate readers in and around Farmington — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
On the record · Contract Canceled
Farmington is on the record here. Farmington Police told Flock it will not renew after a one-year, about $26,000 contract for eight cameras expired August 10, 2026, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported August 18. Lt. Justin Collins cited customer service and staff turnover at the vendor, plus timing. Four LPRs sit on U.S. 62; two live-feed units were at Creekside Park. Collins said other Arkansas exits were not the driver. The city needs another park security system.
