The Gwinnett County Commission recently approved funding that will allow for the installation of new cameras across the county that will help with public safety efforts.
According to a press release from Gwinnett County Government, the commission approved the purchase of 97 new Flock cameras at a cost of $279,600.
The Flock cameras record passing vehicles' tag numbers and categorize each vehicle by its build, make and color. The cameras then notify the police in real time if a car is stolen, a person is wanted or someone is missing.
Gwinnett County Police have recovered 585 stolen cars and 526 wanted persons using the Flock cameras since 2020.
The county currently has access to 772 Flock cameras. Most of the current cameras are owned by homeowners associations and community improvement districts.
