The Auburn City Council and Auburn Police Department are hosting a community town hall tonight, Monday, September 21, 2026, at 6:00 PM in the Rose Room at Auburn City Hall (1225 Lincoln Way, Auburn, CA 95603) to discuss the city's Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system.

Learn how the Auburn Police Department uses Flock Safety and other ALPR technology, review privacy safeguards, and provide public feedback.

The Controversy: Local residents organized a DeFlock Auburn petition gathering over 1,600 certified signatures to oppose or ban automated license plate surveillance cameras over privacy concerns.

The Debate: Proponents and police leadership point to declining overall crime rates and objective evidence collection, while critics argue the AI-powered tracking creates an intrusive surveillance state.
