South Fulton mayor, state senator to address Flock use

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — South Fulton’s mayor and a state senator are expected to hold a news conference about Flock cameras and public safety on Thursday.

At 10:30 a.m., Mayor Carmalitha Gumbs and Sen. Jaha Howard will discuss Flock usage and community privacy concerns. Howard said he plans to propose legislation about Flock cameras during the 2027 General Assembly session.

The event precedes the city’s Talk Around Town community forum, where residents can participate in an open discussion about Flock. The forum is scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Southwest Arts Center.

In north Georgia and across the country, several law enforcement officers have been fired, charged or both for misusing their departments’ Flock camera systems. South Fulton’s police department has not yet reported any incidents.
