No Flock cameras in Kimball: Four city sources put rumors to rest

A burned-out green traffic light, a bucket truck and a rumor that spread across Kimball have left city officials answering questions about surveillance cameras that simply aren’t there. At least five residents contacted Western Nebraska Observer staff asking whether Flock Safety cameras had recently been installed at the intersection of Highway 71 and Chestnut Street. After contacting the Kimball Police Department, mayor John Morrison, city electric foreman Taylor Brown and city administrator Annette Brower, the answer is unanimous: No cameras have been installed. “There are no Flock cameras, nor are there traffic cameras. There is nothing,” Brower said. Rachael Hudson, administrative assistant at the Kimball Police Department, confirmed that neither the department nor the city uses Flock cameras, which are commonly associated with automated license plate recognition. “ The police department does not have any cameras,” Hudson said, referring to the reported installation.
