Stockton families deserve safe streets and accountable government.

Today's council item would add $3.15 million to the city's contract with Flock and push the total commitment to $5,416,700 through 2031. This is not a small add-on. It would expand Stockton's deal with a private surveillance vendor to include drones, radar, a mobile security trailer, and AI search tools.

Everyone wants faster response when harm happens. The question before council is whether this expansion will actually make Stockton safer. Before City Hall spends millions more, residents deserve clear public proof that this system works, strong public safeguards, and a full accounting of the costs and tradeoffs.

Sign on to tell Stockton City Council to vote no on File #26-0269 and reject Amendment No. 4. Stockton should invest in public safety that residents can trust, not rush through another expensive expansion for Flock.

UPDATE:

Christina Fugazi, Jason Lee, Michele Padilla, Mariela Lizette Ponce, Michael Blower, Mario Enríquez, and Brando Villapudua all voted yes to approve File 26-0269 on March 31, 2026.

Thanks to everyone who signed and stood with us today. We’ll share next steps later this week after our general meeting. Stockton’s elected officials do not get to spend public money to dodge the hard work of governing. We are not going to accept our tax dollars being used to hand more power to a private surveillance company instead of supporting working people and building real safety in this city.
