Newton Deploys 11 New License Plate Cameras | Wichita News

Newton’s rolling out 11 new license plate cameras to supercharge crime-solving—tracking stolen cars, missing persons, and active investigations. These Flock cameras snap every vehicle’s plate and key details, storing data in a secure system that auto-deletes non-investigative info after 30 days. Police Chief Craig Dunlavy calls it a game-changer, letting officers focus where they’re needed most. With strict controls—officers need a case number or probable cause to search—and public transparency coming soon via an online database, Newton’s system balances power with privacy. Four cameras are live now; the rest are in the works with state DOT permits. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
