Kearney residents have until December 11, 2026, to weigh in on the city’s use of Flock automated license plate reader cameras through a community survey.

The Board of Aldermen is seeking feedback on whether residents support keeping the cameras, want additional restrictions or oversight, or oppose their use. The results will be presented to the mayor and aldermen to help guide future discussions about the program.

The survey is hosted on Polco, an online community engagement platform. Anyone may participate, but a Polco account is required. Because aldermen represent Kearney residents, the results presented to the board will focus on responses from verified city residents.

Residents must complete Polco’s verification process to have their responses included in those results. Participants who have not yet been verified will have an opportunity to complete that step after submitting the survey.

The survey is available HERE.

Information about how Kearney uses the cameras, the policies governing them and the Flock transparency portal is available at KearneyMO.us/Flock.
