The City of Rancho Cordova is spending more than $1 million on a five-year contract with Flock Safety to install 53 roadside cameras around town.
"We use it from any crime, from theft all the way up to shootings and worse, and so it is a valuable tool for us," said Rancho Cordova Police Chief Mathew Tamayo.
"Since our Flock network went live, we had 19 mail theft arrests and 13 of them were as a result of flock," he said. "It was one piece of information that we used in our broader investigation."
An audit in Ventura County found that the data was shared with out-of-state law enforcement, including federal agents, which violates state law.
Some Rancho Cordova residents are now calling on the city to cancel its contract with Flock, creating a website called Deflock Rancho Cordova, along with writing letters and speaking out at this week's city council meeting.
But Chief Tamayo said Rancho Cordova has safeguards in place to protect the data from being accessed without authorization.
Rancho Cordova police said they're working with the nearby cities of Folsom, Citrus Heights, Galt and West Sacramento to create a regional real-time information center in Elk Grove where the cameras can be monitored.
