Sheriff presented to Council what the Flock system is, how it works, the start-up costs associated and how it can be tailored to meet the City of Bradbury's needs, something the Vigilante has never been able to do.

a. City Council approve the use of COPS funds to cover the estimated initial expenditures of $3,600.00 for first year and $3,000.00 for each following year.
