## Resource

El Paso is poised to shut down all its Flock cameras after state funding was abruptly cut — a move that reverses a recent City Council vote and forces police back to manual methods, raising concerns about safety and efficiency. While officials praised the cameras for boosting officer safety and cutting crime, critics like Councilmember Chris Canales warned of privacy risks and questionable reliability, citing troubling precedents from other cities. With the cameras now offline and removal slated for within 60 days, the city faces a major shift in surveillance strategy — and a reckoning over tech’s role in public safety.
