Flock Group Inc. / CO - Morrison PD, Services Agreement: Order Form (terms, pricing, signature page) with the attached “Government Agency Agreement” (Flock's standard legal terms, §§1–10).February 8, 2023, by Town Manager Kara Winters (customer). The Flock signature block in this copy is unfilled template placeholders.22PDF, 0.6 MB

That is the whole primary record so far: one document. Its key terms, 4 Falcon cameras, $2,500 per camera per year, a $1,400 implementation fee, a 24-month subscription term against an order-form header reading “Initial Term: 12 months,” 12-month renewal terms, $21,400 contract total, rolling 30-day deletion, a law-enforcement disclosure license, and termination for convenience at $500 per camera, are read clause by clause on The Program. The file’s own metadata records it was generated by the vendor on January 23, 2023 and last modified February 8, 2023, the signature date. The town’s signature was applied with Adobe’s Fill & Sign tool; if a fully countersigned copy exists, this site will publish it.

The other half

What the record refers to, and does not include

Each of these is a record whose existence the published record itself implies, and which this site has not obtained. Colorado Open Records Act requests can name them; how to file one with the Town of Morrison is on Take Action.

  • The contract’s current status: any termination notice, non-renewal notice, assignment, novation or transfer executed when, or since, the Morrison Police Department was dissolved on January 1, 2025.
  • Any Board of Trustees action approving the 2023 acquisition, addressing the contract at dissolution, or reviewing any renewal since.
  • The term-commencement record: the date of “first installation and validation” that started the clock.
  • The Deployment Plan or camera location list for the 4 contracted cameras, and their present status.
  • The network sharing settings: which agencies could search Morrison’s cameras while the department operated, and who, if anyone, can search them now.
  • Any ALPR policy the department operated under, and any audit of searches against Morrison’s data.
  • Invoices, purchase orders and payments to Flock Group Inc. from 2023 to the present, and the budget lines that funded them.
  • Custody of archived footage: whatever the department extracted and saved under its archiving responsibility before it was dissolved, and who holds it today.

Method

How this site was built

deflockmorrison.com is a static site: no analytics, no cookies, no trackers, no outside scripts. It follows the model of its sister sites, deflocklakewood.com, deflockgolden.com and deflockarvada.com: publish the primary documents in full, footnote every factual claim to a named public source, and mark every gap in the record as a gap instead of filling it with inference.

Three kinds of statements appear on these pages, and each is labeled where it occurs. Document facts quote or restate the signed agreement. Reported facts cite named news organizations or the town’s own published pages, and reflect what those sources said on their own dates. This site’s arithmetic, principally the February 2025 term end and the January/February 2027 renewal dates, is computed from the contract’s terms and is labeled as arithmetic wherever it appears, because the contract itself names no calendar dates and ties its start to an installation date the record does not contain.

The camera count: exact query

The map and camera counts come from OpenStreetMap, the crowdsourced dataset behind the DeFlock project, retrieved September 30, 2026. The selection is: nodes tagged man_made=surveillance with surveillance:type=ALPR inside the Town of Morrison administrative boundary (OSM relation 18499983), equivalent to the Overpass query area(3618499983)->.a; node["man_made"="surveillance"]["surveillance:type"="ALPR"](area.a);. Because the public Overpass mirrors were refusing connections on the retrieval date, the snapshot was assembled from the same OpenStreetMap database via the api.openstreetmap.org 0.6 API (the boundary relation’s full download plus a tiled map download, filtered to the same tags and boundary); the query above reproduces it on any Overpass instance. The result is published at data/overpass-alpr-2026-09-30.json, each element stripped to type, id, coordinates and tags, with no mapper names or edit metadata. Of the 3 ALPR-tagged nodes, 1 carries manufacturer=Flock Safety; the other two carry no vendor tag and sit in an area tagged as parkland. One more surveillance node inside the boundary is a state traffic camera, not tagged as an ALPR, and was excluded, as were readers tagged just outside the boundary along the US 285 corridor. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License; camera reports are volunteer contributions, crowdsourced and incomplete, and establish neither completeness nor ownership.
