Flock surveillance cameras / police data privacy
Police can now tap into exterior business cameras through the voluntary Community Sentinel program, and a new BRICS grant reimburses businesses up to $5,000 for camera upgrades that plug into the police real-time center. Property crime, especially shoplifting, is the target.
School Resource Officer expansion
Elk Grove Unified will pay the city about $2.07 million over three years so a fourth police officer can be assigned to schools starting July 2026, with the city adding one officer position.
