Flock 101 Recording and Next Steps

Lt. Rueben Ross of the North Liberty Police Department presented Flock 101, an information session about the department’s use of Flock Safety cameras, on Sept. 24, 2026. The two-hour presentation is available for viewing...on YouTube. The slides are available as a PDF.

As announced at that session, Mayor Chris Hoffman will add an opportunity for the City Council to discuss, and possibly take action on, the City’s use of Flock Safety cameras to the agenda of its next meeting. That meeting is scheduled for Oct. 13, 2026, at 6 p.m. in the North Liberty City Council Chambers at City Hall, 360 N. Main St. The item will offer an opportunity for public comment.
