Valley County Board in Nebraska weighs removal of Flock ALPR cameras in Ord
First reported: August 11, 2026 · 2 sources
The Valley County Board in Nebraska is set to decide whether to remove Flock Safety automated license plate reader cameras installed in Ord. Local coverage describes cameras positioned on the east and west sides of town, which resident Christopher Bruha, an Ord native who recently returned to work in his hometown, says he passes twice a day.
