DOCUMENTED

ALPR / Flock Safety

Police Flock ALPR program documented

St. Charles lists a Flock Safety Police Transparency Portal on its official transparency page. November 2025 City Council minutes record public discussion identifying eight Flock cameras under a two-year contract; NoRec preserves that eight-camera figure as a dated 2025 record rather than silently treating it as a verified current 2026 inventory.

DOCUMENTED

Body-worn / squad-car cameras

Body-worn-camera and squad-car video program

A 2023 Government Operations Committee packet documents Police Department implementation planning for body-worn cameras and squad-car cameras, including testing of a squad vehicle with forward-facing and prisoner-compartment views.

PUBLIC RECORDS · FOIA

Records and official sources.

Primary government records are preferred. Where practical, NoRec keeps a local archival copy alongside the official source so citations remain auditable if a government URL later changes.
