Flock Safety transparency-portal changes logged for Saint Paul Police Department.https://flockfeed.fineprint.report/en-ushttps://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/st-paul-pd/stopped-sharing-todd-county-so/https://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/st-paul-pd/stopped-sharing-todd-county-so/St. Paul Police Department (St. Paul, Ramsey County). Todd County MN SO was removed from the list of organizations granted access to Saint Paul Police Department (MN) data on the St. Paul PD Flock transparency portal, taking the sharing list from 58 organizations to 57. It was deleted from the list entirely rather than tagged [Inactive]. Everything else on the portal is unchanged from the previous snapshot (2026-09-05): 1 fixed LPR location, 7-day retention, the same hotlist sources (NCMEC Amber Alert, FBI National Hotlist, MN BCA), and the same policy text. The change occurred sometime after 2026-09-05 and was observed on the live portal on 2026-09-22. (The 2026-09-22 monitor alert itself captured a blank page load; the portal was live and fully rendered when checked directly the same day, so this entry reflects a direct comparison of the 2026-09-05 snapshot against the live portal.) Source: https://transparency.flocksafety.com/st-paul-mn-pd What this means: 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.Tue, 22 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTStopped sharing with an agencyhttps://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/st-paul-pd/stopped-sharing-crystal-pd/https://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/st-paul-pd/stopped-sharing-crystal-pd/Saint Paul Police Department (Saint Paul, Ramsey County). Crystal MN PD was removed from the list of organizations granted access to Saint Paul Police Department (MN) data, taking the sharing list from 59 organizations to 58. It was deleted from the list entirely rather than tagged [Inactive]. Everything else on the portal was unchanged from the previous snapshot (2026-08-25): 1 fixed LPR location, 7-day retention, the same hotlist sources (NCMEC Amber Alert, FBI National Hotlist, MN BCA), and the same policy text. The change was detected 2026-09-05 and occurred sometime after 2026-08-25. This is the third monitored portal to drop Crystal in the same window — Paul Bunyan Task Force and Spring Lake Park PD both removed it on 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. What this means: 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.Sat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTStopped sharing with an agencyhttps://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/st-paul-pd/fixed-alpr-locations-now-na/https://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/st-paul-pd/fixed-alpr-locations-now-na/St. Paul Police Department (St. Paul, Ramsey County). St. Paul PD's BCA roster entry for locations of fixed or stationary automated license plate readers now reads "N/A." It previously listed "Kellogg Boulevard at Smith Avenue North (2)." The right-hand column, covering other surveillance devices with LPR capability, still reads "N/A." The state roster is vendor-neutral and covers every ALPR vendor, not only Flock. What this means: A change that does not fit the standard categories. See the update's details for specifics.Thu, 27 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMTOtherhttps://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/st-paul-pd/portal-live/https://flockfeed.fineprint.report/mn/st-paul-pd/portal-live/St. Paul Police Department (St. Paul, Ramsey County). The St. Paul Police Department's Flock transparency portal became publicly available and was first observed on August 12, 2026. Flock does not publish portal launch dates; the portal is understood to have gone live during the first week of August 2026. St. Paul PD also appears on the Minnesota BCA's public roster of agencies that use license plate readers. What this means: Flock Safety publishes a public transparency portal for each agency that uses its automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras. A new portal usually means the agency has signed a Flock contract and begun deploying cameras, or has started disclosing an existing deployment. Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. 13.824) requires agencies to log their ALPR use and notify the state BCA, which keeps a public list of agencies that operate the cameras.Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMTPortal went live
