LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The Los Angeles Police Department is ending its agreement with Flock Safety, a company that operates surveillance cameras throughout the city.
LAPD announced that it will allow its agreement with the company to expire Saturday, ending the department’s three-year relationship with the security firm – at least for now.

LAPD says Flock Safety’s cameras are audited and inspected for compliance regularly and stored data is kept between seven and 30 days before it’s deleted.
