The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office says six Flock Safety cameras, equipped with license plate recognition technology, are being installed in the southern portion of the county with a grant targeting apprehension of stolen vehicles.  They are also a tool for recognizing vehicles associated with Amber and Silver alerts.  Skamania County Sheriff Summer Scheyer says she has heard some privacy concerns from citizens, but add the footage obtained by the cameras will only be used for criminal investigations and specific public safety issues.  The cameras do not include facial recognition abilities and do not capture personally identifiable information.  Data collected by the cameras is stored by Flock and deleted every 30 days.  The Flock Safety cameras will be fully functional in the beginning of 2025.
