Springfield Police Receives Grant to Install More Flock Cameras

Springfield City Council has approved a $20,000 grant to be used for Springfield Police to fight crime.

Springfield Police Department will be using the grant to install 7 new “flock cameras.” These cameras are installed on light poles and are used to read license plates to better track suspects.

The department currently has installed 21 of these cameras around town, and believes that these cameras will help cover high trafficked intersections that are not currently covered.
