Columbus Division of Police

Columbus City Council is holding a public hearing on Flock cameras on Aug. 10. Here's everything that's happened regarding the technology in Columbus.

Columbus Deputy Chief Tim Myers went to bat for the city's Flock cameras as CPD assesses ways to prevent ICE and other agencies from using its data to track immigrants.

Columbus City Council has set an Aug. 10 public hearing on Flock surveillance cameras to address privacy and transparency concerns after the release of a police audit.

Columbus City Council will hold public hearings on two controversial topics in the next month: Flock Safety cameras and data centers.

Activists say the audit of Flock searches released by Columbus police Friday show the need for stronger policy and more transparency around the city.

Last year was the first time in over a decade that Columbus kept the number of homicides under triple digits.

The Columbus Division of Police have changed which agencies can access its Flock surveillance cameras after concerns were raised about the cameras' possible use for immigration-related searches.

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said the Hilltop police substation is expected to open in February of next year. It has an estimated $14.39 million price tag.

The shooting happened just before midnight in the 800 block of Wilson Avenue, east of Nationwide Children's Hospital.

Columbus hasn't put forth any proposed ban on police using Flock cameras, like other cities. Instead, the city will call a public hearing and conduct an audit of data from the surveillance cameras.
