Santa Clarita Valley · Public records project
Public records.
Public power.
Deflock SCV is a local project making Santa Clarita's automated license plate reader program easier to understand — using public contracts, policies, committee records, and correspondence.
01 · The facts
A simple overview of the program approved by the City.
What the City approved.
Santa Clarita approved a Flock Safety ALPR deployment for use by the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station.
02 · Why this matters
Surveillance policy should be understandable before residents are asked to accept it.
Simple questions deserve clear answers.
Who can access Santa Clarita's ALPR data?
Residents should be able to identify the agencies, users, and sharing arrangements that govern access.
How is every search audited?
Access and searches should be governed by clear, enforceable rules and meaningful audit trails.
What measurable results justify the cost?
Public spending should be evaluated with consistent outcomes, not only individual success stories.
What oversight happens before renewal?
Contracts, performance, access rules, and data practices should receive meaningful public review.
