At the request of the Precinct 4 Constables in Fairfield, the Fairfield MUDs have joined together to fund the installation of Flock cameras at the entrances to and exits from Fairfield.  Flock cameras read and record license plate numbers.  This data is only accessible by law enforcement officers and helps them trace stolen cars, serve outstanding warrants and identify theft rings, among other uses.  They are widely used in Houston and the surrounding neighborhoods.

The cameras are being installed in phases by Flock Group Inc. (“Flock”) under a contract among Flock, Harris County, and Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 358.  The remaining Fairfield MUDs have entered into a cost sharing agreement with MUD 358.  Flock must obtain a separate permit from Harris County for each Flock camera it installs.  Therefore, there is no set time for completion.   

For more information about Flock cameras generally, please see the attached publications developed by Flock which answer commonly asked questions.  If you have any comments or questions about Flock cameras in Fairfield, please go to www.fairfieldmuds.org and insert your comments in the comment box that appears when you select Contact Us.  You may also address the Board at any public meeting of the MUDs.  The meeting schedule is set forth on the website. 

The Fairfield MUDs believe the Flock cameras will help to deter criminal activity in Fairfield and enable the Constables to identify suspects.  We will be analyzing their effectiveness over time and will make adjustments as needed.
