The South Russell Police Department uses Flock cameras as an investigative tool to solve crimes and enhance security within the Village. To ensure the technology is used responsibly and to solidify public trust, the department operates under strict guidelines that prioritize accountability and data protection. Access to the system is limited to authorized personnel for official law enforcement purposes only, with mandatory case-number tracking and automated audit features designed to flag and prevent unauthorized searches. Furthermore, collected data features a short retention window and is never sold, reflecting a balanced approach that supports active criminal investigations while fiercely safeguarding resident privacy.

As always, we appreciate your confidence and trust in the South Russell Police Department.
Chief Michael Rizzo
