UW-Madison Drops Flock ALPR Contract | Madison News

UW-Madison Police are ditching their Flock Safety contract after it ended June 26, seeking a new ALPR vendor that better matches campus safety goals and community comfort. Chief Brent Plisch confirms ALPRs remain vital—but they’re pivoting to find a system aligned with both needs and values. This move follows a Dane County Board vote in April to cut Flock funding over data privacy concerns. Now, the department is actively exploring alternatives and plans to involve the campus community in the selection process, ensuring transparency as they continue the push for effective, community-sensitive license plate technology.
