Midland, TX: City Council votes 7-0 to send Flock Safety a 60-day termination notice
Midland City Council voted 7-0 on Oct. 13, 2026 to send Flock Safety a 60-day notice of termination for the city's automated license plate reader (ALPR) camera contract.
What the council decided
The unanimous 7-0 vote directed city staff to send Flock Safety a 60-day notice of termination. A 60-day notice starts a contractual wind-down period; the cameras remain operational until the contract formally ends.
How many cameras are in Midland?
Reports on the number of city-operated cameras differ slightly: NewsWest9 put the count at 71; the Midland Reporter-Telegram reported 73. The Reporter-Telegram noted that city cameras are only part of the cameras in the Midland area, since others are on private property.
What happens next
The 60-day notice period runs from Oct. 13, 2026. Once the notice period expires and the contract ends, the city's cameras would be removed or deactivated. Private-property cameras in the Midland area are not covered by the city's contract decision.
