Clark County School District pauses Flock camera use pending police chief's procedural review

First reported: August 27, 2026 · 1 source

The Clark County School District said it is pausing its police department's use of Flock license plate reading cameras while newly appointed Chief Jeff Clark reviews all CCSDPD procedures. The pause follows the department's announcement that its Investigations Bureau had an agreement granting access to shared Flock cameras across the Las Vegas Valley, which the district said it has used since August 2024 to investigate serious crimes. ACLU of Nevada executive director Athar Haseebullah questioned why school police would need access to cameras far outside school boundaries. The district said it would be fully transparent with the community about how the system is used.

Why this matters

School police departments accessing regional ALPR networks raises questions about the geographic and purpose limits of school-based policing, and the pause shows how leadership transitions can become a point at which surveillance agreements are reexamined.

Key facts

CCSD said its police department has used Flock cameras since August 2024 to aid investigations of serious criminal events.
The Investigations Bureau was described as the only CCSDPD division authorized to access the system, with access limited by general order to felonies, firearms, narcotics and child endangerment cases.
The department said users must get permission from the Investigations Bureau lieutenant, that usage is documented, and that random audits are conducted.
Newly appointed Chief Jeff Clark decided to pause use of the cameras until his review of department procedures is complete.
ACLU of Nevada's Athar Haseebullah said he does not believe the technology will reduce crime as expected and raised concerns it could enable stalking of children; those are his stated opinions, not findings.
