Clark County School District police to access shared Flock camera network in Las Vegas area

First reported: August 25, 2026 · 6 sources

The Clark County School District Police Department confirmed to KTNV that it will begin using Flock Safety camera data in investigations, according to a memo shared with the department and obtained by the station. The memo says CCSDPD does not own or operate any Flock cameras and instead has share-only access to cameras owned by other local agencies and businesses in the Clark County and Las Vegas area. Access is limited to the Investigations Bureau and, per the memo, requires an assigned case number, with personal or unauthorized professional use prohibited. KTNV reported the memo does not spell out consequences or procedures if those rules are violated. A district spokesperson said newly appointed Police Chief Jeff Clark is reviewing all CCSDPD procedures, including use of the Flock system.

Why this matters

School police gaining access to a regional license plate reader network raises questions about how student- and community-related investigations intersect with broader surveillance data sharing, and about what enforcement exists when internal use rules are broken.

Key facts

A CCSDPD memo shared Monday limits Flock access to the Investigations Bureau and requires an assigned case number for every query.
CCSD and CCSDPD do not own, lease, or maintain any Flock cameras, according to the memo; access is share-only from other agencies and businesses.
KTNV reported the memo does not specify what happens if the usage rules are not followed.
LVMPD entered into an agreement with Flock by at least 2023; a February Nevada Independent report said it operates roughly 200 Flock cameras and shares data with hundreds of agencies nationwide.
Cato Institute's Matthew Cavedon estimated about 135,000 Flock cameras operate across the United States.
