City of Orrick: ALPR Surveillance Infrastructure Audit This page contains the compliance findings and operational data obtained via Sunshine Law requests from the City of Orrick, Missouri, regarding its Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) program.

Executive Overview: In late July 2026, Midwest Transparency Audit initiated a probe into the City of Orrick to determine the extent of its localized vehicular surveillance footprint. Unlike municipalities that utilize alternative funding to mask their camera networks, our audit reveals that the City of Orrick does not currently operate an Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) network. The city has officially gone on the record confirming a zero-footprint status.

Procurement & Financial Breakdown

The Sunshine Law Battle: Audit Timeline

The procurement trail indicates a complete absence of localized surveillance spending:

Zero-Footprint Confirmation: The City Clerk officially certified that the local police department does not utilize ALPR technology.
Contract Absence: The city possesses no vendor agreements, financial invoices, or data-sharing contracts with Flock Group Inc..
Financial Impact: As a result of this determination, no municipal taxpayer funds are currently allocated to ALPR surveillance infrastructure within the city's direct jurisdiction.

The documentation traces a highly compliant and straightforward public records inquiry with the city's administrative office:
July 31, 2026: Midwest Transparency Audit submitted a formal four-part public records request to the City of Orrick. The request demanded all vendor contracts, inter-agency data-sharing logs, private surveillance access frameworks, and localized usage policies.
August 3, 2026: City Clerk Jennifer Capps responded to the inquiry promptly. She officially stated on the record, "the City of Orrick's local police department does not use the Automated License Plate Reader". Consequently, she confirmed the city had no responsive records to provide.
The Current Status: The City of Orrick is officially classified as a surveillance-free, "Zero-Footprint" municipality. The immediate audit for this agency is closed. Midwest Transparency Audit will continue to monitor regional data-sharing matrices to ensure external county or state agencies are not deploying networks within the city's borders.

Status: COMPLETE. The city has officially gone on the record confirming a zero-footprint status.
