Mayor Mike Johnston’s office is extending Denver’s contract with Flock — a company that operates AI-powered license-plate readers throughout the city — for five months without any additional cost, circumventing the need for a vote by the City Council.⁠
⁠
In May, the council unanimously voted against a contract to extend the system over concerns that the technology is creating a surveillance network ripe for abuse. But Johnston’s office opted not to take the cameras down and then extended the contract through October without council approval.⁠
⁠
Now, another contract extension with added requirements intended to reduce the risk of data misuse will last through at least March, which is when Johnston’s team will present a new contract to the City Council, according to an announcement Wednesday by the mayor’s office.⁠
