    "notes": "WBTV reported on 29 September 2026 that the department has no contract with Flock Safety but has a memorandum of understanding allowing officers to access certain Flock cameras for investigations and evidence gathering, and that it is seeking an automated licence plate reader provider, with a vendor application deadline of 5 October. An officer was accused of misusing the system and charged with illegally accessing a government computer. The article does not give the number of cameras involved or say that Flock is bidding for the new contract. WSOC reported on 24 July 2026 that the department was among the agencies in the State Bureau of Investigation's pilot of plate readers on state roads; the vendor of those cameras is not given.",
