The city of Apache Junction will soon have 25 pole-mounted cameras to help the police department identify suspects and solve crimes.
The Apache Junction City Council on June 20 voted unanimously to pay $315,500 for a five-year master services and license agreement with Flock Group Inc. that adds 10 cameras.
The council in May 2022 approved an $80,350 two-year agreement with Flock LLC that included 15 cameras. If one of the solar-powered cameras snaps a photo of a vehicle that has been reported stolen, law enforcement officials are alerted. The rear of the vehicle — including the make, model and color and any other identifying marks — are in the photo, officials said at the time.
