Paul Bunyan Task Force stopped sharing with Roseville PD
Stopped sharing with an agencyRoseville MN PD was removed from the list of organizations granted access to Paul Bunyan Task Force data, taking the task force's sharing network from 68 organizations to 67. Every other entry on the list was unchanged, including the two partners already flagged inactive (Brooklyn Park MN PD and Columbia Heights MN PD). Roseville is not itself shutting down its program: it still appears on Mounds View PD's sharing list on the same day, so this is a revoked sharing relationship rather than an agency going inactive.
What does this mean?
The agency removed a sharing partner, narrowing who can search its plate data. This can follow a policy change, public pressure, or a contract decision.

Paul Bunyan Task Force stopped sharing with Winona PD
Stopped sharing with an agencyWinona MN PD was removed from the list of organizations granted access to Paul Bunyan Task Force MN data. It was deleted from the list entirely rather than tagged [Inactive]. Everything else on the portal is unchanged from the previous snapshot (2026-10-04): 22 cameras, 30-day retention, the same hotlist sources (NCMEC Amber Alert, MN BCA), and the same policy text. Brooklyn Park MN PD and Columbia Heights MN PD remain flagged inactive. The change occurred sometime after 2026-10-04 and was detected on 2026-10-07. Winona PD's own portal was not checked, and Winona still appears on the St. Paul PD portal's sharing list as of the same window, so this looks like an ended sharing relationship rather than Winona leaving Flock. The portal does not say which side ended the sharing. Source: https://transparency.flocksafety.com/paul-bunyan-task-force-mn

Paul Bunyan Task Force stopped sharing with Dakota County SO and Renville County SO
Stopped sharing with an agencyDakota County MN SO and Renville County SO were removed from the list of organizations granted access to Paul Bunyan Task Force MN data. Camera count (22), 30-day retention, hotlist sources (NCMEC Amber Alert, MN BCA) and the portal's policy text were unchanged from the previous snapshot (2026-08-19). The same two removals appeared on the Spring Lake Park PD portal in the same detection window, which points to a change on Dakota County's and Renville County's side rather than separate decisions by each portal owner.

Neither agency's own portal is monitored, so it is not confirmed whether they left the Flock network or only ended these sharing agreements.
