Sheboygan to Ask Council to End Flock Camera Contract Sept. 8
Sheboygan, WI — August 26, 2026
The City of Sheboygan plans to ask its Common Council to terminate the city’s contract with Flock Safety during a meeting scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, 2026.
City Administrator Casey Bradley and Police Chief Kurt Zempel are advancing the request, according to Seehafer News. The Common Council has not voted on the proposal.
What officials are reviewing
Sheboygan has 15 Flock camera units. Local reporting says city staff have covered the cameras while the termination request is reviewed.
Officials said actions by Flock Safety were believed to be inconsistent with the contract’s terms and expectations and had undermined trust. The cited report did not publicly detail the specific actions that led to the request.
The pending discussion may give residents a chance to follow questions about surveillance technology, privacy, transparency, data governance and city contract oversight. The outcome remains undecided.
Next decision point is September 8
The City of Sheboygan meeting portal lists the Eleventh Regular Common Council Meeting for 6 p.m. Tuesday, September 8, 2026.
Residents should check the meeting portal and the city’s Agenda Center before the meeting for the agenda packet, supporting documents, contract information, public-comment instructions and any updates.
The Common Council is responsible for city policy and spending oversight. Its decision on the Flock Safety contract remains pending, and final agenda materials may provide more detail about the proposal and the city’s next steps.
