Please attend and let the city know what you think of their mass surveillance plan! Remember, the police department may be putting this on for informational purposes but its our seven person City of Puyallup - Government council who makes the final decisions.

City of Puyallup - Government Puyallup again showing that they believe they know best and the public doesn’t deserve transparency

A nationwide debate over how police departments use and disclose the AI-driven vehicle surveillance technology is playing out in the small cities around Pierce County.

Elections and accountability matter. Four of our city council members are leaning toward allowing Flock cameras to stay in our town. Those same four are showing support for data centers in our city as well. What do you think our city should do about these extremely important topics? Whatever your thoughts are, you need to let our council members know what you think. It takes a minute, but emailing them all on BCC is the best and quickest method. If you need assistance, just let me know.

Following up on my Letter to the Editor of the Tacoma The News Tribune regarding Flock Cameras currently in use in the City of Puyallup - Government. Independent news organizations are leading the way in shedding light on programs like Flock's. Attached is the PDF Flock sends to jurisdictions thinking about using their products. This is how the City of Puyallup is going to be told to 'deal' with you if you don't like Flock.

HBO's Last Week Tonight also did a great segment on Flock and other survellience tools. Here's that link... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnBPhelCdWE

The main gist of my article is that the city of Puyallup does things like this with almost zero public input. Much like the pending flagpole, but much more important, the Flock camera debacle from our city is worth keeping an eye on. Stay involved!

The City of Puyallup - Government has two REALLY important surveys out right now. One is a general survey on the overall status of Puyallup and they've done a good job of hiding it. I only found it briefly on social media. I HIGHLY recommend completing this one FOR SURE! Look at the questions thoughtfully and answer as best as you're able. Note that they are prefilled with a 'no answer' entry so take a close look. The city really t***s their horn on this survey. The second is also a very important survey on bicycle safety in town. They take just a few minutes to complete. Please share as best as you're able, especially on the first one since they've buried it pretty darn good.

Here are the links:

Here's the bicycle safety survey.
