In October 2026, city officials in Alexandria announced the shutdown of 61 Flock surveillance cameras while they evaluate alternative license‑plate reader technology.
The decision was driven by privacy concerns raised by residents and officials in the city.
The action follows comparable removals of Flock cameras by other municipalities in Northern Virginia.
