Traffic enforcement

The policy says no traffic enforcement. A two-day crackdown used the cameras.

CGPD says the cameras are not used for traffic enforcement.

That's not true.

The Casa Grande city website links to the Flock transparency portal, where the public-facing policy says Flock will not be used for traffic enforcement.

PinalCentral reported that CGPD used Safe City real-time data from cameras and drones during a two-day traffic enforcement detail that resulted in more than 60 arrests and citations.

Arrests and citations in a two-day traffic crackdown that used Safe City camera and drone data. The January 2026 log lists searches labeled "Traffic Infraction."

The claim and the record

You do not need radar to measure speed.

The city told the council

“No. The cameras are not photo radar cameras and do not issue citations for any violations.”

Chief's agenda document, page 4

The record shows

You do not need radar to measure speed. Every camera knows its location and stamps the exact time on every photo. Two cameras on the same road give distance and time. Distance divided by time is speed. That is how average-speed enforcement works.

Flock's own FAQ says its cameras "do not currently measure vehicle speed." Currently. Flock already sells trailers that combine plate reading with speed feedback.

"Do not issue citations" is not "not used for traffic enforcement." Local reporting described a two-day traffic crackdown using Safe City camera and drone data. The January 2026 log has searches labeled "Traffic Infraction" with the case number "none." The January 30 email says footage was used to determine the cause of traffic collisions.

The public policy and the recorded use do not match. Ask the council which one is binding.

Nationwide reach

Within Arizona still reaches outside Arizona.

In its own study session, the city admitted other Arizona agencies with out-of-state sharing agreements can reach beyond Arizona. CGPD cannot stop that.

Bottom line

"Do not issue citations" is not "not used for traffic enforcement."

Ask the council to put the traffic-enforcement promise in a binding ordinance, and to say what the January 2026 'Traffic Infraction' searches were for.
