Milford's Board of Aldermen voted on October 5, 2026 to temporarily stop the use of Flock Condor video cameras and send the question to the city's new technology review committee. A motion to remove the cameras permanently failed. The police chief said the department deactivated every camera covered by the resolution. In August the board had already voted to switch off most traffic and license plate reader cameras for review. This is a pause, not a ban, and could be reversed after the committee reports.
