Flock Safety transparency-portal changes logged for Spring Lake Park Police Department.https://flockfeed.fineprint.report/en-ushttps://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/spring-lake-park-pd/stopped-sharing-itasca-county-so/https://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/spring-lake-park-pd/stopped-sharing-itasca-county-so/Spring Lake Park Police Department (Spring Lake Park, Anoka County). Itasca County MN SO was removed from the list of organizations granted access to Spring Lake Park MN PD data, taking the sharing list from 53 organizations to 52. It was deleted from the list entirely rather than tagged [Inactive]. Everything else on the portal is unchanged from the previous snapshot (2026-09-16): 2 cameras, 7-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. Paul Bunyan Task Force also dropped Itasca County SO from its sharing list in the same window (logged 2026-09-24), which points to a change on Itasca County's side rather than two separate decisions. Itasca County's own transparency portal is not monitored, so it is not confirmed whether it left the Flock network or only ended these sharing agreements.

This can follow a policy change, public pressure, or a contract decision.Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTStopped sharing with an agencyhttps://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/spring-lake-park-pd/retention-30-to-7-days/https://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/spring-lake-park-pd/retention-30-to-7-days/Spring Lake Park Police Department (Spring Lake Park, Anoka County). The portal's Data Retention field changed from 30 days to 7 days. Everything else on the portal was unchanged from the previous snapshot (2026-09-04): 2 cameras, the same hotlist sources (NCMEC Amber Alert, MN BCA), the same 53-organization sharing list (Brooklyn Park MN PD and Columbia Heights MN PD still tagged [Inactive]), and the same acceptable use, prohibited use, access and hotlist policy text. The change was detected 2026-09-16 and took effect sometime after 2026-09-04. Spring Lake Park now matches the 7-day retention period shown on the Saint Paul PD portal. What this means: The number of days the agency keeps plate reads changed. Minn. Stat. 13.824 requires ALPR data not linked to an active criminal investigation to be destroyed within 60 days, so a general retention period above 60 days conflicts with state law. A longer window leaves a deeper searchable history of drivers' movements, and a shorter one limits how far back a query can reach.Wed, 16 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTData-retention period changedhttps://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/spring-lake-park-pd/stopped-sharing-crystal-pd/https://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/spring-lake-park-pd/stopped-sharing-crystal-pd/Spring Lake Park Police Department (Spring Lake Park, Anoka County). Crystal MN PD was removed from the list of organizations granted access to Spring Lake Park MN PD data, taking the sharing list from 54 organizations to 53. It was deleted from the list entirely rather than tagged [Inactive]. Everything else on the portal was unchanged from the previous snapshot (2026-08-23): 2 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. Crystal was also removed from the Paul Bunyan Task Force sharing list in the same window (logged 2026-09-04), which points to a change on Crystal's side rather than separate decisions by each portal owner. Crystal PD's own portal is not monitored, so it is not confirmed whether Crystal left the Flock network or only these sharing agreements ended.

Dakota County MN SO and Renville County SO were removed from the list of organizations granted access to Spring Lake Park MN PD data. The rest of the portal - 2 cameras, 30-day retention, hotlist sources (NCMEC Amber Alert, MN BCA) and all policy text - was unchanged from the previous snapshot (2026-08-18). The same two removals appeared on the Paul Bunyan Task Force 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. Unlike Brooklyn Park and Columbia Heights, which remain on the list tagged [Inactive], both were deleted from the list entirely. Neither agency's own portal is monitored, so it is not confirmed whether they left the Flock network or only ended these sharing agreements.
